Kutu

For his latest musical adventure, the French star violinist Théo Ceccaldi has got together with the Ethiopian singers Hewan Gebrewold and a top-class band. Listen to pieces such as “Baamet Beal” and you could well imagine that you are in one of the coolest clubs in Addis Ababa, Cairo or Lagos. Pulsating beats and hip-hop-style vocals mixed with electro sounds promise to get you up out of your seat. Yet again, Ceccaldi manages to evoke the sounds of half an orchestra from his violin alone and prepares the ground for his brilliant accompanists. Powerful, techno-style Afro jazz of a very special kind.
