TTT ... hypnotic groove... TELERAMA

... ...A breathtaking album...... FIP

...The fans who are already conquered have only to applaud. All the others have no choice but to follow suit. Now..... MONDOMIX

...Afrobeat and funk shake up the traditional repertoire and the original compositions - all successful - deploy their contagious grooves... VIBRATIONS

...In this cross fertilization project, the Parisian quintet (and their guests) make their own this kaleidoscopic aesthetic and use the flute like a touareg fantasy around a hypnotic groove... JAZZ NEWS

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
