Kicking off African Summer is Debo Band, an eleven piece ensemble led by Ethiopian-American saxophonist Danny Mekonnen and fronted by charismatic vocalist Bruck Tesfaye. Since their inception in 2006, the band has won rave reviews for their groundbreaking take on Ethiopian pop music, which incorporates traditional scales and vocal styles, alongside American soul and funk rhythms, and instrumentation reminiscent of Eastern European brass bands.
“Guitar solos, massed vocals, violin and brass rush in like a Red Bulled marching band. Dance at your own risk.” - Rolling Stone
