6 videos • 1,322 views • by Zvuloon Dub System 'Anbessa Dub' is an innovative project produced by Zvuloon Dub System that blends elements of Roots Reggae with scales, rhythms and languages of Ethiopian music. The project offers fresh versions of famous Ethiopian songs together with original songs written by the members of the band. The collaboration of these elements creates a new style of music which is neither "Ethiopian" nor "Jamaican Roots", but rather a new sonic manifestation that crosses borders and cultural boundaries. The aural signature of the group is an elegant synthesis of the Ethiopian pentatonic scales with the characteristic drum and bass heavy sounds of reggae dub rounded out by jazzy free-form lines of the brass section filling the spaces. Electric guitars with sounds characteristic of funk and soul music are augmented by the traditional Ethiopian instruments and African drums. The lyrics of the songs talk about the longing and nostalgia for the forgotten and beloved land. Zvuloon Dub System consists of: Gili Yalo -- vocals Ilan Adiri -- tenor sax Inon Peretz -- trumpet Ilan Smilan -- guitars Simon Nahum -- rhythm guitar Lior Romano -- keyboards and melodica Tal Markus -- bass / backing vocals Asaf Smilan -- drums and percussions For more info. please contact: Asaf Smilan medtone@gmail.com Cell: +972506514365 Website: www.zvuloondub.com *This project is supported by "Beit Avichai"
