A verified legend of African pop music, Mahmoud Ahmed led the wave of Ethiopian music’s ‘golden age’ of the 60s-70s with a notoriously energetic combination of traditional Amharic music with soul, jazz & funk. His stunning multi-octave voice has made him an international star for 40 years, despite relative obscurity in the US. The afternoon sees performances by American free jazz giants in two trios: Joe McPhee, Dominic Duval and Jay Rosen as Trio X, and the Andrew Barker, Charles Waters, Daniel Carter trio. As Soldier / Kane, drummer Jonathan Kane and multi-instrumentalist David Soldier perform uprooted Americana.Liturgy
