When it comes to world music, New York-based producer Bill Laswell is convinced that the next big act coming out of Ethiopia is a young rock band called Jano -- a ten member ensemble that fuses distinctly Ethiopian sounds with heavy guitar, drum and other instruments.
"I think they were probably deeply influenced by the great musicians of Ethiopia, the great singers without question," said Laswell in a recent interview with TADIAS. Laswell, whose putt together the band's forthcoming CD, has a long resume in the international music genre, including previous work with Ethiopian vocalist Gigi, among others.
