Playing FRIDAY at: Joe’s Pub (425 Lafayette St., East Village)

In 1997, the Paris-based world music label Buda Musique began putting out their Ethiopiques series - 25 disks compiling the best in golden-age Ethiopian music. In the process, Buda Musique opened a door to the strange, foreign-yet-familiar music of Ethiopia to world music fans across the world, delighted by the mixture of classic funk, Arabic-sounding scales, and trance-like African grooves. Boston’s excellent Debo Band has become standard bearers for the Ethiopian sound on our shores. “Lanchi Biye” comes from a just-released EP of live recordings made on a recent pilgrimage to Ethiopia.
