Description
The Atse Tewodros Project, created by Gabriella Ghermandi in 2010, focus on creating pieces of Ethiopian music with jazz influences.
The Atse Tewodros Project was created by Gabriella Ghermandi in 2010 in an effort to bring together Italian and Ethiopian musicians as a way of fostering mutual dialogue and artistic creation. The Atse Tewodros Project focus on creating pieces of Ethiopian music with jazz influences, incorporating music from ethnic groups whose music is relatively unknown outside of Ethiopia. The group produces songs in eight different languages, and, in addition to the highland ethnic groups, offers music from Kunama, Gamo, Gofa, Oromo and others. Singer, performer, novelist and short-story writer, Gabriella Ghermandi was born in Addis Ababa in 1965 to an Italian father and Ethiopian mother and raised in Ethiopia. In 1979, a year after her father's death, Ghermandi moved permanently to Italy. Parallel to her work as an author and singer-songwriter, Gabriella Ghermandi has been building a considerable reputation as a performer of narratives adapted from Ethiopia's oral and musical tradition. As well as speaking at many conferences and educational institutions, Gabriella has been a keynote speaker at the American Association for Italian Studies.
