With Fabien holding down beats from his vast directory of lively grooves, multi-instrumentalist Jeroen adding his spirit of experimentation and punk rebellion blended with Mesele’s mastery and innovation on the krar, one of the masters of the ethiopian masinqo Endris tops the result into a psychedelic tinged jazz funk.
