ABOUT

Currently Based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia I'm looking for the best musicians on your instrument to create a new music. The first project will be to take the music to another level in Ethiopia from the music of Mulatu Astatke and Getachew Mekuria. I am definitely interested in collaborating with Ato Mulatu and Ato Getachew whenever they are in Addis and want to take the music to the next level. The plan is to have one rehearsal a week and play at least two weekly gigs but the main focus will be bigger concert venues and touring.

FYI. The band is new, however both Teferi and I have played for well over 20 years each and are very seasoned musicians!!
