Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp

Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp

The english call them the-band-with-the-name-I-never-remember and I admit it's pretty much unpronouncable. However, Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp (roughly translated as "All Mighty Orchestra Marcel Duchamp") is a name with a program. It not only contains a reference to some of the most mythical bands of West-Africa (Orchestre Tout Puissant Konono n°1, Orchestre Tout Puissant Polyrytmo etc. etc.) but also to one of the biggest dynamiters of 20th century art. (…and of course "all mighty" evokes a whole string of associations beside african bands!)
