Last Thursday (Jan 10th) was the first installment of the “The Ethio-Soul Sessions” 2nd Thursday events at The Secret Society, and it was a blast. Not only was there a great turn-out for the show, but we were honored with a surprise visit by none other than Fasil Wuhib. For those of you Ethiopian Jazz junkies, you may have heard him with the Wudasse Band where he plays bass (if you haven’t had a chance, check out their album, Selam). He joined with the band for some amazingly funky renditions of Tlahoun Gèssèssè‘s Aykèdashem Lebè and Seyoum Gèbrèyès’ Muziqa Muziqa.

If you missed out on the fun, fear not as we’ll be playing again on Valentine’s Day (Feb 14th) for the second installment of the “Nights of Abyssinia” at The Secret Society.
