Description Gili Yalo repurposes sounds from traditional Ethiopian music to produce a contemporary and personal musical vision. With lyrics in both English and Amharic, Yalo draws from his family’s story of departure from Sudan amid the country’s second civil war, and how music served as a tool for motivation and survival during that time. Gili Yalo and his Israel-based ensemble groove and flow in entrancing rhythm as they explore a new vision for traditional Ethiopian music.
