Ethio Cali will perform a special set of classics and slept on gems from various parts of the continent. The night will also include some special guests sitting in on a few tunes plus music from Guest DJ BOSS HARMONY

ETHIO CALI is a Los Angeles-based Ethio-Jazz ensemble, led by trumpeter, arranger, and composer Todd Simon.  The ensemble’s sublime sound is inspired by the golden age of Ethiopian music of the 1960’s and 70’s, filtered through a lens that is uniquely Los Angeles.  Acknowledging the diverse musical foundations of Ethio-Jazz, the ensemble also draws inspiration from the rhythmic and melodic textures of Sudan, Somalia, Ghana, and Colombia.
