1/10/2014 - The new Zvuloon Dub System project blends roots reggae within the context of the unique vibration of Ethiopian culture. The project offers fresh versions of famous songs from the golden age of modern Ethiopian music together with original songs written by the members of the band. It features several artists from the ‘Beta Israel’ community (the Jewish Ethiopian community that immigrated to Israel during the 80’s and the 90’s) playing the music they grew up with, in their mother tongue. The collaboration of these artists with the members of Zvuloon Dub System creates a new style of music which is neither “Ethiopian music” nor “Jamaican Roots Reggae”, but rather a new sonic manifestation that crosses borders and cultural boundaries.

Musicians of CACI VORBA, by taking the pattern from the past Gypsy masters, cleverly smuggle several motives from different musical cultures. Moody Roma ballad interweaves with the Azer note and the French Musette.

The mythical story about «Carpathian Hercules» sounds, as if somehow Romanian cioban have listened with attention to cool jazz meanwhile oriental sounds from the suburbs of Bucharest in a strange way make someone thinking about salsa. According to the principle that «the music knows no borders» CACI VORBA musically trawerses all over the Old Continent and arranges its sound-mosaic in their own way, right from the beginning.

We are looking forward to working together with CACI VORBA.

But somewhere along the way, that troubadour turned off the road and, setting sail from the melting pot of New Orleans, began a journey that would take their sound to new, unchartered territories with influences from around the world.

Groanbox were touring often successfully in Great Britain, France and on the East Coast of America. With freedom boot and their fifth album in store they will be touring in summertime 2013 again in Europe.

What does an African band have to do with Bavarian folk dance?

Diversité is a band made up of six members that has developed, along with three dancers, an amazing show. "Nomvula" pays homage to Africa. A new kind of world music - a mixture of soul, African rumba, afro-beat, jazz, classical music, and inspired by the very spirit of Africa.

The dancers are Yahi Gahe Nestor, who performed as a choreographer and dancer in the show “Afrika! Afrika!” by André Heller, Hippolyte Bohouo, and Marie- Chance Anastasie Gonebli, both also known from the latter show.

The highlight of the show is the mixture of gumboot dance and Schuhplatteln, a traditional Bavarian dance. The similarity of these dances shows the idea of unity in diversity.

"In this world where war and conflicts are about to rule, culture is the only thing that can bring people together. Then, let us build cultural bridges between our peoples for a more united and happier world. Welcome to Diversité. Yahi Nestor Gahe

We are looking forward to working together with Diversité. Further info soon on our homepage.
