Newsflash! Have you heard Krar Collective's new album Ethiopia Super Krar? If you haven't, check it out on their CD link below. The group has been waiting for the launching of their debut album with Riverboat Records and to celebrate this they performed songs from their album at the Rich Mix this week. Discover Krar Collective's music and the haunting sounds of the authentic traditional Ehtiopian instrument, the krar.
This London-based Ethiopian three-piece, centred on the traditional krar harp, were one of the grooviest and most hypnotic bands at Damon Albarn's recent Africa Express bonanza. Expect an ultra-repetitive funky dance marathon. Time Out
The group also recently performed on the Africa Express alongside 80 or so other world class musicians. If you were unable to catch them on the Africa Express tour then join in on Making Tracks.
