Kunta

An explosive rhythm, a percussive flow and a pentatonic scale coming straight from Addis Ababa, Kunta interferes in the Hip-Hop family by bringing a trance joyfully inspired by Afro-beat and Ethiopic turns.

With his singular orchestration, Kunta demonstrates his desire to broaden the frontiers of Hip-Hop, to return to a form of music open to the meeting of styles, creating an unusual crossbreeding between Hip-Hop and African ternaries.

Kunta is an organic form of a new genre, a rare and disturbing molecule mixing generous grooves and percussive ternary, to deliver us a unique and energizing “Ethio-Hip-Hop”!

The music on the record takes us on an introspective sound journey from the Ethiopia of the 70s to North American music, mixing soul, jazz and hip-hop to finally land in the bubbling mixed scene of Lyon.
