This unique and innovative band project combines some of the most outstanding electro-acoustic musicians in Addis Ababa. Ralf Werner, the german jazz cellist, electronic musician and sound composer appears with outstanding young Soloists from Addis:
- Meskerem, one of the most lovely singers from Addis, she is well known from TV "Ethiopian Idol" and is writing also own lyrics.
| - | Beniam, THE one young Addis´guitar talent between Jazz and Rock, playing in Hiltonü´s Band and for several CD-recordings. - Desu, the drummer with the best drummer´s voice in Addis, also part of Hilton Band.
|
Ralf´s exotic groove music carries Pop & Ethio remixes as well as Jazz standards and chilling Ethiopian, European and American original sounds. Ralf´s latest compositions and Ethio-Jazz-remixes includes recent sounds from Addis and other parts of Ethiopia: the noises of streets and markets, rain and thunder and of course the people and animals of the city. Addis Chill Sounds also performed with the Ethio-Swedish poet and painter Ermias Ekube and prepares a program with Ethiopian dance soloists.
