                                   R    E    U    P    L    O    A    D    


 “fuses up-to-the-minute flavors of hip hop, reggaeton, global music and the lore of traditional Ethiopian rituals” 

                                           -- David Weiss, Mix Magazine, June 2006

       This upbeat fusion of Ehtiopia world beat and Hip-hop leaves you breathless from the outset and never lets go. The opening track Bole to Harlem sets a wonderful danceable tone. One of the biggest complaints about hip hop are the repetitive and redundant themes. Its hard to not enjoy the blended rhythms of hip hop combined with bole. This is a cd you will play and before you know it, its all you want to listen to.

      

                 Rediscover the revolutionary world/urban record that Songlines Magazine calls "One of the 75 Best World Music Albums ever." 

                Bole is the entry/exit point for Ethiopia, and Harlem is the entry/exit place for African music in America. 

               Bole 2 Harlem, Volume 1 is a party, a celebration, a gift back to Ethiopia. The world can flow as one. Music is the frontier to pave the way. Originally released in 2006, Bole 2 Harlem Volume 1 was immediately hailed as a global/urban music classic.
