AFB and a group of musicians originating from Ethiopia and Fikru Mulugeta''Mulu''Gessesse, and Wanita Louis and Chicago area. His blend of music is categorized as African music with reggae and rhythm and blues flavor. Mulu Gessesse is a guitarist who played with Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers, and recorded the album One Bright Day and Conscious Party. Wanita Louis and had a group called Carícia.Este probably the best reggae group in the Chicago area. The story began in Baar ond oe Dallol Ethiopia was founded by brothers and Mulugeta Zeleke Gessesse in the 1970's. Dallol migrated to Chicago in 1980 where he began building a reggae scene in the club legendary Wild Hare Club. Baar won his lyrics music in the Windy City in the early 1980's by fusing the energy of traditional Ethiopian dance rhythms to roots reggae inspired by Bob Marley. Dallol eventually drew the attention and captured the imagination of Rita Marley. In 1986, he produced''Land Of Genesis,''a seminal work of Dallol, reggae band from Ethiopia and the first evolutionary predecessor to Baar. One of the best themes of''Land of Genesis can be found in''Marley Family Album, released on Heartbeat Records 50th Anniversary Bob. A Plans Bob Marley before he died was working with Ethiopian musicians. When he died in 1981, Rita has kept that vision alive and created the opportunity for your child to follow that path. Dallol began work with Ziggy Marley after the release of''Land of''Genesis, and backed Marley on the album Grammy winners''Conscious Party''and''One Bright Day,''as well as excursions around the world endured as a band. After years of Ziggy Marley, with the separation of Dallol, two bands were born: AFB and Gizzaeh. AFB was initially composed of brothers Gessesse (Zeleke on bass and vocals and guitar Mulugeta) and original member of the Dallol Mulaku Straight on guitar and synthesizer. He joined the original core of Dallol a younger brother Fikru Gessesse on drums, and the American Chicagoan Jasper Stone on keyboards. According to bassist / vocalist Mulu, the roots of the Ethiopian Baar are fundamental to its existence. The band's name comes from an ancient tributary of the Nile. The valley has yielded some of the remains and therefore the oldest human skeletal evidence of ancient Ethiopia as "the true land of Genesis" according Gessesse. Gessesse Baar prefers to call the Ethiopian version of reggae, but says that categorizing the music too can be misleading. For example, the beat in its history was there 500 or 600 years already. When a tribe was angry or wanted to talk about their suffering to the king, just played their songs from the repertoire of tambores.Muitas Baar, as the title track for its release, Time,''are sung and chanted''in Amharic, the Ethiopian language. The spirituality inherent in this track is the revelation of the unique strengths of the band. At their best, the rhythms of Baar Ethiopians are so captivating as some contemporary African music artists. Baar also dominates traditional Jamaican styles such as reggae and lovers rock. The version done by the Beatles Baar "Do not Let Me Down" made naively as a rock steady groove very similar to the music of Bob Marley "Soul Rebel." The band also became known for playing one of the best versions of the classic''War''by Bob Marley. " The shows of Baar usually also include a nod to the years of Ziggy Marley songs as "Tomorrow People". Gessesse says the creative interaction between Marley and his band works in two ways. They play their music with African influence, and this influences the work of Ziggy, Ziggy and then shows where they can take their music. Are still very close to Ziggy, and the influence revelação.Uma is a piece of the favorite memories of working with Gessesse with Ziggy Marley was when the band wrote "Black My Story", after a performance at Amherst College in Massachusetts. It was a concert dedicated to the month of black history. The rhythm track came together spontaneously in a test, it was magical. The final version of''One Bright Day''features the background harmonies by the brethren in Amharic Gessesse. Ties of African music with reggae, the royal family and roots firmly planted in the soil of Zion, make a good argument for Baar, based in Chicago, led Mulugeta Gessesse today for either one of the most original in contemporary music of reggae and world music ...
