Join Gondar Fasiledes Cultural Group today, November 22, as they unveil their full performance from the Addis Jazz Festival 2023 on the Muzikawi YouTube channel. This stunning showcase is a visual and auditory feast, featuring energetic music, vibrant costumes, rich culture, lively dances, harmonious melodies, and a dynamic blend of dialects.
Founded in 1977, Gondar Fasiledes Cultural Music Group has been a cornerstone of Ethiopia’s artistic history. Initially known as “Taglo Atagay,” the group quickly gained popularity for its dynamic performances that merged music, dance, and theater. In 1979, they were renamed “Ras Dejen Kinet,” expanding their repertoire to include social and political theater. By 1983, the group became “Yefasiledes Kinet,” playing a pivotal role in promoting Ethiopian culture on the global stage, particularly through their influential “Hizib Lehizib” concert. However, following the regime change in 1990, the group disbanded, and Gondar’s cultural arts scene faced a decline.
In 2014, the Gondar City Administration revived the group as “Gondar Fasiledes Cultural Music Group,” and after undergoing new leadership and training, the group officially relaunched in 2018. Now with 34 members, they continue to celebrate and share Gondar’s rich cultural heritage through music and dance. The group’s contributions to Ethiopian culture have been recognized with various awards, including third place in the 2014 Amhara Region cultural competition.
In addition to their Addis Jazz Festival performance, Gondar Fasiledes Cultural Group recently teamed up with Muzikawi to release their single “Eregnaw” from their upcoming album Gonder Fasiledes on May 10, 2024, available on both the Muzikawi YouTube channel and digital streaming platforms. The full album, featuring 12 tracks, is set to be released soon.
Don’t miss out—head over to the Muzikawi YouTube channel and streaming platforms to enjoy the full performance from the Addis Jazz Festival 2023 and listen to their latest single, “Eregnaw.”
