Debo Band w/Special Guests Fendika
[Watch a video of Debo with Fendika]
Debo Band has been bringing audiences unique interpretations of classic Ethiopian pop music since 2006.
Their performances bring together the best of the last forty years of Ethiopian music, with a reverence for the vintage sounds of the 1970s and a commitment to discovering contemporary gems, as well as developing new compositions.
Fendika is a traditional dance and music group from Addis Ababa that features a vocalist, a male and female dance duo, and a traditional goat-skin drummer.
Some praise for Debo Band:
"An eclectic mix of players… a sound that bridges cultures… just what Ethiopian pop music did in its golden age." - Boston Herald
"Debo Band… represents for Ethiopia. Playing a pop fusion that could have come straight off any disc in the Ethiopiques series, Debo manages to sound fresh without sounding derivative." - Rick Sawyer, bostonist.com
