Debo Band

With earth-rattling horns and mesmerizingly oscillating vocals, Debo Band takes the funky, psychedelic groove of 1960s Ethiopia and transplants it firmly onto a 21st-century dance floor. The 11-member band, led by Ethiopian-American saxophonist Danny Mekonnen and fronted by charismatic vocalist Bruck Tesfaye, celebrates the release of their new album, Ere Gobez, due out on FPE Records on May 20th.
