Tyger Tyger is a spontaneous, fun and mischievous convergence of Afrobeat, Funk, and improvisational music.
The band’s seven members, Lynn Ligammari, Jackie Coleman, Dave Palazola, Timothy James, Pat Carr, Ronnie Lanzilotta and Marcus Farrar, all hail from various parts of the Eastern United States, but draw on sounds spanning generations, continents and genres, with influences ranging from Mulatu Astake and Fela Kuti to Eddie Harris and El Michels Affair. Members of the Brooklyn-based ensemble split their time recording and touring with
acts like Antibalas, Aaron Frazer, Arthur Moon, Bright Eyes, Castle Rat, Durand Jones & The Indications, Evolfo, Red Baraat, and more.
