The easiest way of describing Qwanqwa would be as a new instrumental band from Addis Ababa. However, that would be a neither fair nor adequate labeling. Because while the group only started performing together last year, the members - Messele Asmamaw on lead krar, Sami Sendeku on kebero and percussion, Dawit on bass krar and Kaethe Hostetter on 5 string violin – have decades of experience from the music scene in Ethiopia and abroad.
