New Nile Orchestra
Who would think that any band playing Ethiopian pop would be hiding somewhere in the hills of Vermont, let alone one that is as credible and downright groove-filled as New Nile Orchestra? The band of locals backing an immigrant singer/musician is becoming common, from Sweden's Simbi to a dozen bar bands around the globe, and most fall horribly flat on their faces trying too hard to be something they are not. Here the pitfalls have all been filled in by solid, R&B groove and energy. 

A hard hitting rhythm section, cheesy synths (the defining sound of Addis-pop) and a solid lead singer in Ethiopian Kifla Kidane give this band a lot of meat. They make edgy dance music and sweet soul-dripping pop.
