UKANDANZ Awo LP out now ! – Bigoût Records

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.
