Abiy Sahle & The Peace Band play original instrumental compositions highlighting the unique scales and rhythms of Ethiopian traditional music, Ethio-Jazz, Funk, Reggae, and Afro-beat.  “ The title of this album is The Peace Tune because over the last few years in the country where I was born, Ethiopia, the civil war has been horrifying for my people. I was inspired to make this album and donate all the proceeds to charity, to deliver the help to the people who really needed it. The music of the album includes four Ethiopian scales, and all the music is related to peace.” Abiy Sahle Abebe.This concert features songs from Abiy Sahle’s new album ‘The Peace Tune’ in an uplifting performance. The recordings are available on BandCamp: https://thepeacetune.bandcamp.com/
