After a short collaboration with Todd Simon's Ethio Cali, on his second long player Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Dexter Story explores East African music. In the tracks on 'Wondem' (Amharic for "brother") Story incorporates influences from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, Somalia and Kenya and to top it all off and give the songs some extra authenticity, he also invited vocalists Alsarah Elgadi ('Without An Address') and Yared Teshale ('Sidet Eskemeche', 'Lalibela'). Mark de Clive-Lowe's beautiful acoustic piano solo in 'Yene Konjo' provides for the ideal closing track. 'Wondem' is a wonderful journey into East-African music we'll definitely award a spot in our best album list for 2015!
