:::BUDOS BAND:::

Having scalded listeners’ ears with sonic lava on Budos I and stung them with venomous frequencies on Budos II, The Budos Band delivers on their promise to spread the epidemic of “Budos Fever” far and wide with the release of The Budos Band III. The cobra is poised to strike if anyone dares challenge The Budos on their quest. And, if there was ever any question whether the brotherhood of The Budos is instrumental afro-soul royalty, the Chateau de Budos that graces the back cover of The Budos Band III assures all that the group is strong – unstoppable even – and will use all of nature’s power to ascend to their rightful throne.

:::TODD SIMON'S ETHIO CALI ENSEMBLE:::

Trumpeter and arranger, Todd Simon (whose worked with Antibalas, Quantic and Madlib) is well-versed in the Ethiopian Jazz tradition, having performed with Mulatu Astatke for the inaugural Mochilla Timeless concert series. Todd debuted his Ethio-Cali Ensemble last summer for a special performance at the Hammer Museum/UCLA. Ethio-Cali features some of LA's finest: Kamasi Washington, Dexter Story, Alan Lightner and Mark de Clive-Lowe. Together they provide Ethiopian rhythms and melodies, paying homage to the golden era of Ethiopian Jazz, along with original compositions from Todd's forthcoming project.
