Ethiogroove
Friday 10th February / Doors at 21:00 / Tickets at the door: 80 kr. (60 kr. for students)
Between ethiogroove and modern music you find a musical hybrid called uKanDanZ. Intense and powerful songs, mixed with energetic rock, jazz improvisation and Ethiopic soul.
Asnake Guebreyes originates from the vibrant music scene in Addis Abeba where he’s worked with traditional vocal and drum styles. He appears on éthiopiques vol. 18 compilation and has worked with Han Bennik amongst others.
The members of uKanDanZ willingly cross different musical borders, at the same time they also maintain the musical identity and origin.
uKanDanZ's style shakes the borders. A quartet made up of musicians with different influences (rock, jazz, traditional music). Beside his traditional approach, Asnake Guebreyes worked on contemporary Ethiopian creations with Mohamed Jimmy Mohammed Trio.
