Wudasse

This Ethiopian style jazz/rock/fusion band was formed in Atlanta in 2004. The band lineup consists of three Ethiopians - Teferi Assefa (drums), Jorga Mesfin (keyboards), Fasil Wuhib (bass) - and two Americans - Ahsa Ahla (percussion) and Dale Saunders (guitar). They have created an experimental polyrhythmic adaptation of traditional Ethiopian rhythms and scales into contemporary fusion jazz. Their album "Salem" was recorded in front of a live audience at the Five Spots Club in Little Five Points, Atlanta in 2006 and also features David Bass on flute, alto- and baritone saxofone.
