    Debo Band

    Debo Band is a 11-member group led by Ethiopian-American saxophonist Danny Mekonnen and fronted by vocalist Bruck Tesfaye. Active since 2006, they perform a version of Ethiopian pop music like that in the Éthiopiques series, melding traditional scales and vocal styles with American soul and funk rhythms and instrumentation reminiscent of Eastern European brass bands. Debo have toured Ethiopia twice, appearing at both the Ethiopian Music Festival in Addis Ababa and Sauti Za Busara in Zanzibar, the largest music festival in East Africa.
