"This is the first ever NYC appearance of avant-punk Dutch band the Ex with the legendary Getatchew Mekurya on saxophone. Lincoln Center's addition of singers Mahmoud Ahmed and Alemayehu Eshete with the Either/Orchestra offers a great, historical presentation of classic Ethiopian artists (all of whom have been showcased in the famed Ethiopiques series of recordings). Extra Golden's recordings forge a fusion between American rock and Kenyan Benga sounds, and have issued releases on the Thrill Jockey label." So much more info here. All Ages.
