about

PRESS :

Rolling Stone
“...This cocktail of vintage jazz-funk Eritrean music is the UFO which will make us regret that the aliens have been so discreet all this time...” (Philippe Blanchet)

BBC 1
“...Definitely one of those records to play at the end of the night...” (Gilles Peterson)

France Inter
"...A slightly new-yorkish, sober jazz-funk ... it is a true revelation..." (Arnaud Viviant, Système Disque)

“...Inspired by an ethiopian sound, Akalé Wub´ churns out a retro-futuristic soundtrack which makes you dance head to toes...” (Allo la Planète)

France Info
“...To relish...” (Info Musique)

RFi
“...The quintet’s repertoire draws from “ethio-jazz” greats (Mulatu Astatké, Alemayehu Eshete, Mahmoud Ahmed...) and proposes a subtle chemistry between faithful covers and fresh arrangements, revisited standards and rarities as well as personal compositions...”

Libération
“...Akalé Wubé from Paris, a mix of garage rock and vintage jazz, with a touch of soul…and a small dose of reggae...”

about

Akalé Wubé Paris, France

In their 10 years of existence, Akalé Wubé have never stopped widening the canvas onto which they lay their music, which keeps becoming richer and deeper just like their primary source of inspiration: the popular Ethiopian repertoire of the 60s and 70s
