KAETHE HOSTETTER — live event
KAETHE HOSTETTER'S IMPRESSIONS OF AFRICA & LIONESS Kaethe Hostetter's Impressions of Ethiopia & Lioness Lioness is the new trio of Kaethe Hostetter, Samson Kebede (Arki Sound), and Django Carranza (Fully Celebrated Orchestra), for deconstructed Ethiopian traditional and "Golden Era" ethiopiques tunes-- soaring delay, twisty scales, tricky riffs upon cyclical patterns, familiar Ethiopian melodies pushed into distant primal realms. Kaethe Hostetter (Debo Band, QWANQWA, Fred Frith) is an American violinist, composer, and bandleader, who's been deeply invested in exploring, preserving, and expanding Ethiopian traditional sounds for over 15 years. A founding member of critically-acclaimed Debo Band, Kaethe relocated to Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, immersing herself in the country's deep musical culture. In her eleven years there, she founded a music school, and started a new band, QWANQWA; which brought together some of the most accomplished players in Addis Ababa’s music scene. As as solo artist she has performed with Fred Frith, Butch Morris, Ava Mendoza, Henry Kaiser, and others
