QWANQWA
Beaming in from the sizzling Addis Ababa, Ethiopia nightlife scene, with swirling masinko (one-stringed fiddle), wah-wah violin, bass krar grooves, the heavy riffs of goat skin kebero beats, and powerful mellismatic lead African diva vocals, QWANQWA keeps the people rapt in celebratory attention.
The ensemble was founded in 2012 by American violinist Kaethe Hostetter, now based in Addis Abada, who first worked in Ethiopian music as a founding member of critically acclaimed DEBO BAND. QWANQWA have appeared internationally with Getachew Mekuria, The EX, Thurston Moore, Mahmoud Ahmed, and more, from Lincoln Center to Bonnaroo, New Orleans Jazzfest, WOMEX, WOMAD, Roskilde, and more.
