About the event
Anbessa Orchestra is a 7 piece band based in Brooklyn NY that draws its inspiration from the diverse musical culture of Ethiopia, including the traditions of the Ethiopian Jewish community (Beta Israel). The band combines these unique African musical traditions with the more western sounds of Funk, Jazz, R&B and Rock. The band has been a prominent figure on the NY scene and has played alongside legendary Ethiopian keyboardist/composer Hailu Mergia. The group also frequently backs up Ethiopian-Israeli rocker Gili Yalo. The band has also been featured on the “Beyond Addis Vol.2” compilation featuring new music inspired by Ethiopia.
