Lique Mekwas

by Vespero

supported by

Peter Jones Amazing as always. Fantastic string and wind parts... all of Isidore's Prophet really shows things off well.

(Quite why it's only "in 6 other collections" as I write, I've no idea!) Favorite track: Isidore’s Prophet.

about

"Lique Mekwas – an official noble title of impersonators or doubles of the Ethiopian Emperor, who accompanied him far and wide. Two trusted and highly favored officials were given this title at the same time. They always walked or rode on either side of the monarch in battle, or in public processions, dressing as magnificently, or even more magnificently then The Emperor, in order to distract assassins, enemies, and all ill-wishes."

"Lique Mekwas" is the 7th studio album by VESPERO. It’s all instrumental musical burlesque telling the story of a young man who was appointed to serve the Crown Prince of Abyssinia as a guard-impersonator, and after the years of hard trials and adventures got to know that he had always been a true King of his country.

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler

supported by 8 fans who also own “Lique Mekwas”

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

Seasons of Space • Book #1
by Maat Lander

supported by 8 fans who also own “Lique Mekwas”

I've been a fan since the first release and it just keeps getting better. This melding of great artists collaborating is what I live for. This is the kind of space jazz I used to dream about hearing. The blend of jazz and psychedelia is perfect for me and it all comes together best for me in "The World of the Ocean...". Makes me feel at home. I loved the video of this track on YouTube. Just awesome. Nice job, guys. Well done! musicluvr
