(OFFSITE) SECRET PLANET at Webster’s | Qwanqwa | presented by Gorinto Productions

April 15 @ 7:00 pm

- $20 – $25

Presented by: 3 Dots Community Partner Gorinto Productions

QWANQWA – Psychedelic Roots from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

“QWANQWA uncovers lesser known traditional sounds from East Africa regions of Ethiopia and beyond—a trance-like chant of the Eritrean tribe of Blen, a psychadelic Somalian cover, an extended Amhara wedding medley, a Mahmoud Ahmed sing-a-long. With Selamnesh Zemene, the Azmari diva powerhouse, at the helm, QWANQWA is a conversation of virtuosos through tight arrangements and extended experimental moments. The live show ranges from intimate to wild, from whispery conversations to full blown rock show, and it is hard to believe these psychedelic sounds are coming from traditional harps, one string fiddle, and violin. Driving, powerful, QWANQWA proves we are living during another Golden Age of Ethiopian music.” – qwanqwa.net

This performance will take place offsite, at Webster’s Cafe and Bookstore.
