Description:

'Qwanqwa' is the Amharic word for 'language', and also an instrumental quartet from Addis Abada, Ethiopia. If you've heard the golden age of Ethiopian pop as immortalized by the Ethiopiques series and more recent releases on Mississippi Records and wondered why no group was rocking like that in the here and now - you can stop wondering. Their take on experimental traditional Ethiopian rock deserves to be on every radio station, in every living room and at every party from Gondar to Santa Cruz.

"Volume Two" is the captivating CD release from Qwanqwa, an innovative ensemble hailing from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Known for their adventurous blend of traditional Ethiopian music with contemporary improvisation and global influences, Qwanqwa has garnered international acclaim through electrifying live performances and critically praised recordings. Their second album further explores the rich soundscapes of East Africa by fusing ancient melodies with modern arrangements, featuring mesmerizing violin lines, intricate rhythms, and hypnotic vocals. The group?s unique approach has earned them invitations to major world music festivals across Europe and beyond. FRPR is a respected label dedicated to promoting groundbreaking artists in world music. With a commitment to high-quality production values and cultural authenticity, FRPR supports musicians who push boundaries while honoring tradition.
