A lively and captivating album by Ethiopian writer and performer Gabriella Ghermandi. The project takes as their symbol Emperor Tewodros II of Ethiopia (1818–1868), who was not of royal lineage but took the throne by sheer charisma and will power and united the country. With a mix of Ethiopian traditional and modern instruments the group presents a unique and interesting sound based on traditional Ethiopian pentatonic scales.
