Ethiocolor
The folklore group Ethiocolor, a band which has become much appreciated due to their vibrant live shows and their ability to bridge the gaps between the past and the present. On this album three generations of musicians and singers have joined forces to explore some of the rich music traditions found throughout Ethiopia. The band combines the Azmari culture from the northern part of the country with diverse regional sounds. By using amplified versions of traditional instruments, the group has pioneered a new way of playing Azmari music.
