A Town Called Addis
Dub Colossus
Dub Colossus in A Town Called Addis is an extraordinary collaboration between contemporary Ethiopian artists and Dubulah (aka Nick Page of Temple of Sound and Trans-Global Underground). The project brings together an exceptional but little known African musical heritage, a labour of love recording in a makeshift studio in downtown Addis Ababa and then a journey back to Real World to capture for the first time ever in the UK some of Ethiopia's finest performers.
Dubulah was first inspired by meeting, writing and working with singers and musicians in Addis Ababa in August 2006. In the resulting musical mix, dub meets dreamy blues, hypnotic grooves, jazz piano and driving funk brass, while flavours of traditional Azmari singing, 70s reggae and Ethio-pop infuse one of the most alluring and soulful genres of African music.
"The thing about these Ethiopian tunes is you think you know them. They sound strange, but you think you know them" - Nick Page, Dub Colossus
