Tweaked Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm not well versed on the history, but during the 1960s to mid 1970s, Ethiopia had a kicking jazz scene. Some background: "Ethio-Jazz - The Amazing Story of Ethiopian Jazz from London to Addis" by Lilian Diarra on theculturetrip.com This music is having a bit of a revival these days, with contemporary bands drawing inspiration. One such band is DC's own Feedel Band. They play the first Thursday of the month at Bossa Bistro + Lounge in Adams Morgan, which if you are into world music, jazz, funk should be on your radar. Feedel playing live (which of course is the best way to experience their music) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 "Is This the Year that African Music Finally Conquers the U.S.?" by Andy Beta on washingtonpost.com I look forward to the day when it's no longer correct to say "African Music" (which is like saying "Asian Music"), but for now, the reality is that it's all just one, big jumble in Americans' minds.
