Ethiopiques: Revolt of the Soul

Maciej Bochniak Duitsland, Ethiopia, Frankrijk, Polen 2017 70 min.

Driven musicologist Francis Falceto joins a group of Ethiopian musicians as he looks for the meaning of Ethiopian music, a unique style of music that had a significant influence on Free Jazz and pop music of the late 20th century.

A compelling look at a forgotten generation of brilliant musicians, who now often live in poverty and in exile. An ode to their passion and courage with which they - against all odds - provide the most beautiful sounds and music. The film is followed by a mini concert by DAAN.
