Debo Band the 11-member group live with special guests Feedel Band and DJ Underdog and hosted by the talented singer songwriter Wayna,
Debo Band is an 11-member group led by Ethiopian-American saxophonist Danny Mekonnen and fronted by charismatic vocalist Bruck Tesfaye. Since their inception in 2006, the band has won critical acclaim for their groundbreaking take on Ethiopian pop music (think Ethiopiques), which incorporates traditional scales and vocal styles, alongside American soul and funk rhythms, and instrumentation reminiscent of Eastern European brass bands. Debo have toured Ethiopia twice, appearing at both the Ethiopian Music Festival in Addis Ababa and Sauti Za Busara in Zanzibar, the largest music festival in East Africa. In North America, they’ve shared stages with Gogol Bordello, Amadou & Mariam, Grupo Fantasma, The Family Stone and Ethiopian great Tilahun Gessesse.
Feedel Band takes Ethiopian music and jazz, blending them into a simmering stew of the musical genres’ textures and feeling. They are creating and in some cases re-creating the musical language of what has been called EthioJazz.
D.C.’s DJ Underdog will be spinning afrobeat and afrosoul.
A ground breaking take on Ethiopian pop music fused with American soul and funk.
