"Whether floating on the undulating melodic surface or diving into the rhythmic crosscurrents, this is music that takes you somewhere."

   "I'd never seen Afro-Zen Allstars before....
   
    Honestly, they were barely into their first song, their
    Ethiopian funk settling into a groove so deep it was
    startling for it's immediacy, when people began
    dancing. They might have played one or two songs
    that weren't Ethiopian, but even those followed the 
    groove.

    And a mighty groove it was."

 "Second studio recording from this Richmond, Virginia based group specialising in the enticing sounds of Ethiopian Jazz. 

Their debut from 2017 was ironically titled "Greatest Hits" and this sophomore set follows the same pattern with an exquisite collection of instrumentals."
