about

"Moa Anbessa is a great introduction to Mekurya for rock fans. The Ex doesn’t cut their intensity a bit – heck, they need it all to keep up with Mekurya, still going strong in his seventies. This is a powerful, rocking record that will thrill even listeners who’ve never bought a “world music” album in their lives." -Steve Holtje, The Big Takeover

Two masters who have gone far beyond free improv cliches and tropes to reach a space where the exploration sounds totally relaxed and natural, even at its most intense. This music makes me feel reassured, in safe hands, and joyful. Giles
