Zewdy introduces us to ethio-soul fusion
We don’t hear enough of the contemporary artists of Ethiopian descent who do an excellent job of blending contemporary western genres with a traditional Ethiopian rhythm. There is Nhatty Man who melds rap and ethio-beats into a funky hip-hop dance/rap genre which is both unique and exciting. Wayna Wondwossen is more contemporary R&B, and very talented in her own right.
