Tercet Imperial
Oberek reworked with synths and electronic drums
From Radom region, Poland
Oberek rhythms on vintage synthesizers and electronic percussion, with a singer’s voice cutting through the pulse. The trio pushes the village-dance base toward clipped grooves, bright keys, and a propulsive, looping feel rather than straight traditional arrangement.
More about Tercet Imperial
Tercet Imperial are a Polish trio formed by two longtime collaborators from jazz, electronics, and traditional music, later joined by a singer and dancer from the Radom region. They come out of the current Polish folk-electronic field, but their reference points are village dance parties and the oberek tradition rather than club revivalism.
A story
Before forming the group, two of the members spent years traveling to village dance parties to learn the repertoire at its source.
