An incandescent ethio-trance combo, where the freedom of jazz blends with the raw depth of Azmari sounds. KUTU stirs and explodes with dazzling rhythms and energy, imposing a frenetic dance, a joyful spirituality!
KUTU was born of the meeting in Addis Ababa of musician Théo Ceccaldi and the voice of Ethiopian singer Hewan Gebrewold. The spark for this association came from a trip to the heart of the fevered nights of the Addis Ababa underground: a world where, as in the days of the sixties frenzies of Mahmoud Ahmed or Alèmayèhu Eshèté, hyperactive youths are seizing on ancestral sounds to transcend them. A journey to the heart of the feverish nights of Addis underground in 2020, where hyperactive youths are seizing on ancestral music in order to transcend it. Drawing on contemporary poems and tribal rhythms, Théo Ceccaldi imagines a telluric set where improvisation and vocal flights intersect, supported by a powerful rhythm section and a line-up of contagious vitality: electro-cosmic keyboards, hypnotic bass, exalted dances and stellar voices... An incandescent ethio-trance combo, where the freedom of jazz blends with the raw depth of Azmari sounds.
