A blazing Ethio-trance fusion, where the freedom of jazz blends with the raw depth of azmari sounds. KUTU stirs and explodes with rhythms and dazzling energy that compel a frenzied dance and a joyful spirituality!
KUTU’s spark ignited during a journey into the heart of Addis Ababa’s feverish underground nights: a world where, just as in the days of Mahmoud Ahmed’s or Alèmayèhu Eshèté’s sixties escapades, hyperactive youth seize ancestral sounds to transcend them. A journey into the heart of the feverish nights of Addis’s underground scene in 2020, where hyperactive youth embrace ancestral music to better break free from it.
Drawing on contemporary poetry and a collection of tribal rhythms, Théo Ceccaldi crafts a primal set where improvisation and soaring vocals intertwine, backed by a powerful rhythm section and a lineup brimming with infectious energy: electro-cosmic keyboards, hypnotic basslines, exhilarating dance moves, and stellar vocals... An incandescent ethio-trance combo, where the freedom of jazz blends with the raw depth of azmari sounds.
