Hey girls and boys !
We are very happy to say that UKANDANZ Awo LP is out now ! It looks and sounds amazing. But what is UKANDANZ ?
UKANDANZ… a unique style, an unusual meeting between an electric quartet fron Lyon / France and Asnake Guebreyes, charismatic lead singer originates from the vibrant music scene in Addis Abeba / Ethiopia.
Their music is inspired by traditional and popular Ethiopian songs. UKANDANZ has a real crunch energy. Between rock, jazz, noise…
With impertinence, they rock it wildly. Without compromise. Guitar, saxophone, bass, drums and vocals shuffle our bearings. What a pleasure! The stage presence of UKANDANZ swings alternately between energy and emotion… then the public, transcended, dances and shivers.
Recorded, mixed, mastered by Christophe Chavanon between february and july 2015.
