Pop Culture Press, CD Review >>
Based in New York City, Bole 2 Harlem is a project with its sights firmly set on the horn of Africa and the nation of Ethiopia. Combining the skills of Ethiopian vocalist Maki Siraj and American composer/instrumentalist David "Ashagre" Schommer (whose father helped found the first university in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa during the 1950's). Also prominently featured is Ethiopian rapper Tigist Shibabaw. The name of the group is meant as a link between Harlem, where the members are currently based, and Bole, the name of the international airport outside Addis Ababa from which the Ethiopians exit and enter their native country. The result of this collaboration is a high-energy, heavily groovy record that will likely lead to dancing, so handle with care around your less than funky friends. 02/04/07 >> go there
