Behind The Mask

about

After enjoying playing the “classics” of Mulatu Astatke or Girma Bèyènè, the group offers us nine new songs. Original compositions where we find the melodies and rhythms of the Ethiopian music of “Swinging Addis” mixed with their kraütrock influences, psychedelic music and afro jazz. An atmosphere of trance on bewitching Ethiopian scales, tracks that invite you to travel and explore.
Created during the pandemic, between two confinements and successive curfews, in a vital impetus, this album sounds the big need to create.
