multikulti.com:
11-osobowy etiopski kolektyw Debo Band nagrał swoją drugą płytę. Ich wysoko oceniany debiut z 2012 roku przyniósł sporą popularność grupie prowadzonej przez saksofonistę Danny'ego Mekonnena. Nowy album przynosi jeszcze bardziej skondensowaną i inspirującą muzykę!
Fanów ethio-jazzu można znaleźć na całym świecie. Historia międzynarodowej popularności muzyki z Etipii rozpoczęła się dopiero latach 60. i 70., dzięki wznowieniu serii albumów "Ethiopiques", której kuratorem był francuski badacz muzyki tradycyjnej Francis Falceto. Członkowie Debo Band czerpią pełnymi garściami z bogactwa etipskiej kultury, widać to chociażby po instrumentarium. Na płycie usłyszymy chociażby rozbudowaną sekcję dętą, uzupełnioną o sousaphone, ale także masinquo - jedno-strunowe etiopskie skrzypce.
Płyta "Ere Gobez" (lider zespołu tłumaczy tytuł jako "głos lwiego serca") to muzyka naznaczona tanecznością i afrykańskim groovem, która jest nośnikiem niezwykle pozytywnej energii oraz ogniwem łączącym kontynenty i pokolenia.

Editor's Info:
Debo Band raises the roof on the Ethiopian musical past, picking up where political upheaval of the 1970s and 1980s quenched the energy of one of East Africa’s most prolific, vibrant scenes. They imagine what Duke Ellington, while on his famed African tour, might have played with the Addis Ababa Police Orchestra (“Blue Awaze”). They invent the jams of the Ethiopians who served in the Korean War and brought back influences from East Asia (the catchy Okinawan song “Hiyamikachi Bushi”).

Debo Band brings these musical what-ifs to life on Ere Gobez, the bold, grooving follow-up to their acclaimed debut. The large ensemble is known for its fun, danceable dives into Ethiopia’s rich musical worlds – from Orthodox Christian liturgy to hot-and-sweaty club sounds.

As Debo band leader and sax player Danny Mekonnen insists, Ethiopian musical cultures are so diverse that the band could only scratch the surface even after ten years of dedicated study. “In Ethiopia, in the early 70s, you had a lot of different styles and artists and arrangers. You had such wealth. You can never stop digging, there will always be new material to introduce people to. That’s something significant. We’re digging much, much deeper. We’re still unearthing new sounds after a decade.” And these are sounds to pack the dancefloor.
It’s hard to imagine any of the band members standing still during the recording of this record. Or anyone who will listen to Ere Gobez or see Debo Band live either.

Debo Band is the perfect tour guide for getting lost.
KUTX Song of the Day

Like joy put to music.
Examiner

Licks and riffs cycle independent of one another, and you can take your pick of which to follow—it’s like the friendly bustle of a dance floor where there’s always someone to lead you no matter where you turn.
Chicago Reader

TEre Gobez is something you would hear at the beginning of one of those shellela war cries, those calls. It translates loosely as something like “call of the lion-hearted.” For us, it could be just a call to the dance floor.
Afropop Worldwide

Large bands at such an unorthodox crossing of genres rarely boast a run like this, let alone Debo’s success at activating dance-floors worldwide with its finely honed repertoire, stirring horn arrangements, and Bruck Tesfaye’s soaring, tremulous tenor.

Debo Band breathes new life and funk into Ethiopia’s musical depository with their latest album Ere Gobez.
