Qwanqwa

Live

Qwanqwa uncovers lesser known traditional sounds from East Africa regions of Ethiopia and beyond - a trance-like chant of the Eritrean tribe of Blen, a psychedelic Somalian cover, an extended Amhara wedding medley, a Mahmoud Ahmed sing-a-long. With Selamnesh Zemene, the Azmari diva powerhouse at the helm, Qwanqwa is a conversation of virtuosos through tight arrangements and extended experimental moments. The live show ranges from intimate to wild, from whispery conversations to full blown rock show, and it is hard to believe these psychedelic sounds are coming from traditional harps, one string fiddle, and violin. Driving, powerful, Qwanqwa proves we are living during another Golden Age of Ethiopian music.
