Ethiopia Super Krar

Interpreter: Krar Collective
Label: Riverboat
Location: Ethiopia

A power trio of krar lute, vocals and percussion, here fleshed out by additional bass lute and fiddle. The Krar Collective ethic is the presentation of 'rural music in urban clothes', and here it ranges from frantic, sometimes jazzy to plaintive, and always engaging.
