Ethiocolor was one of the bands creating a buzz at the last edition of WOMEX and Swedish label Selam Sounds is now releasing their first long player. In their repertoire, the musicians of Ethiocolor try to reconcile the present with the past. The songs on this album represent a wide range of regional Ethiopian genres (similar to the music of Krar Collektive), which, thanks to the use of electronically amplified traditional instruments (krar, masinko, washint...), are given a contemporary feel. On this debut effort, the musicians of Ethiocolor try to represent Ethiopia's ethnic diversity, and, as far as yours truly is concerned, absolutely do their band name justice.
