Adderech Arada is a beloved traditional Ethiopian song about a woman who, after breaking out of her lawful marriage, falls into sin by traveling to Arada, or Addis Ababas red-light district. and falling into sin. Recorded live in Ethiopia in May 2009, Debo Bands version of Adderech Arada is inspired by the Haile Selassie I Theater Orchestras recording arranged and conducted by Nerses Nalbandian. And on the flipside, Kiddids haunting remix deconstructs Debo Bands performance with elements of dub, ambient electronica, and experimental hip-hop. |
