2012 has been a bumper year for Riverboat Records (World Music Network's artist label). With six key releases heading up the batch, we have ricocheted across the globe this year featuring releases from Indonesia, Lesotho, Ghana, Ethiopia via London, Greece, Palestine and Niger.
Our star release was undoubtedly the excellent debut album by London-based Ethiopian band, Krar Collective. The unstoppable trio, dubbed ‘the White Stripes of Ethiopia’ for their minimalist rocky sound, are favourites on the London and increasingly on the international live circuit. They are renowned for dynamic performances of their contagious music and equally infectious dance moves.
