about

This summer, Mèraque embarked on a tour, performing at numerous festivals and venues: Wildeburg, Landjuweel and de Lievelinge. Their live shows allow for extensive improvisation, resulting in many exhilarating moments. To share these moments with a wider audience, Mèraque releases these highlights in this Live EP in collaboration with KROOKS Records.

In the live version of "Kabanova," a marvellous guitar solo enriches the experience, and the crowd's harmonious singing echoes at the track's conclusion. "Volci," a standout piece, underwent a significant transformation during the last summer tour. With the addition of Talal Fayad to the band, enchanting ud solos now infuse the track with unprecedented color.

Inspired by a tribe from Papua New Guinea, featuring artist Aroma composed "Huli." In this live version, Mèraque adds their signature touch with clarinet and saxophone melodies, oriental guitar patterns, and dynamic rhythms, creating an exotic and danceable vibe.
The new track "Isla" is a captivating journey with flowing percussion, where the guitar and saxophone seamlessly groove. Warm vocals add depth, building tension until a soulful saxophone solo emerges, leading to a melancholic climax where all elements harmoniously converge.
