Khufu's Ethiopiques: Ethio Groove
Inspired by Afro-mystical grooves and the melodies of Mulatu Astatke. Wellington's finest play some of the golden tunes of the great Ethiopiques era.
Featuring Ben Lemi (Trinity Roots) on drumkit, Justin Firefly Clarke (Congress of Animals) on wah guitar, Jake Baxendale (Richter City Rebels) on sax, Tristan Carter (The Troubles) on violin, Toby Laing (Fat Freddies Drop) on trumpet, Patrick Bleakley (Blerta) on bass.
Upon hallucination, the Khufu ship sails again. Once sealed at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza (around 2500 BC) a vision appears on the horizon, a boat laden with treasures, and of silken sound-tapestries woven of etheric melodic threads.
