IT ALL STARTED WITH THE REDISCOVERY OF ETHIOJAZZ THROUGH THE ÉTHIOPIQUES COMPILATION IN 1997.

TWENTY YEARS LATER, BANDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD MIX THESE AMAZING ETHIOPIAN TEXTURES AND SCALES WITH AFROBEAT, DUB, HIPHOP, JAZZ AND OTHER GROOVES, CREATING AN ETHIOSONIC SOUND WITHOUT BORDERS. ETHIOPIA CONQUERING THE 21ST CENTURY!
