K8A- “Woradj Alle” (045)

“This collection of musical vignettes is based on my time in Ethiopia, the place I called home for eleven years. The phrase “Woradj Alle” is one of the first colloquial expressions I learned upon arriving in Addis Ababa, used on public transportation, simply meaning :let me off right around here”. In choosing this name, I invite you to join me on the rickety minibus journey through my time in Ethiopia, and step off “the bus” into scenarios, atmospheres, and soundscapes that describe moments I experienced, people I met, and other lasting impressions, striking and mundane.”-K8A
