Atse Tewodros Project Gabriella GhermandiMaqeda
The Atse Tewodros Project was founded in 2010 by Gabriella Ghermandi to bring Italian and Ethiopian musicians together and thus promote mutual dialogue and artistic creation. Gabriella Ghermandi's music combines Ethiopian traditions with jazz influences, drawing inspiration from traditional music that is little known outside Ethiopia. The music is an artistic, cultural and anthropological journey that creates a reflection on early feminism and its figures through sounds, images and narratives.more

Finally, the title “En La Orilla Del Mundo” comes from South American culture, to which I am very attached through my Hispanic roots. For me, these pieces have several points in common: strong ... more
