Imperial Tiger Orchestra
This six-piece orchestra’s repertoire consists of revamped songs from the golden age of modern Ethiopian music (1969-1978) – but they are not to be mistaken for a covers band. From 29 September to 9 October, they will sweep through Cape Town, Harare, Maputo, Johannesburg and Durban, performing for the first time in collaboration with an Ethiopian artist.
