Ethiopian music is the hidden gem of Africa. Dub Colossus in ‘A Town Called Addis’ explores traditional Azmari styles, 60s Ethiopian pop, Ethiojazz and 70s Jamaican Dub Reggae. British producer and multi-instrumentalist Dubulah (aka Transglobal Underground founding member Nick Page) collaborated with some fantastic Ethiopian musicians in Addis Ababa and the result is intriguing, exuberant and extraordinary.
12-piece band featuring special guests Dr Das on bass (ex-Asian Dub Foundation), Nick Van Gelder on drums (ex-Jamiroquai) and The Horns of Negus (Dr John), plus DJ support from Jamie Renton (Chilli Fried), Duke Etienne and Cal Jader(Heads High).
