http://bole2harlem.calabashmusic.com/ Bole2Harlem is the brainchild of American producer, percussionist, and musician David Schommer, who has written and produced songs for Carole King, the Baha Men and Donna Summer, among others. Schommer keeps a collection of drums at a friend's French-Moroccan downtown restaurant called L'Orange Bleue. And Saturday nights are all about celebration, collaboration between live musicians and the house DJ, and dancing. A range of friends who met during these jam sessions joined Schommer at his 123rd Street studio to create Bole2Harlem, Volume 1, including the well-known Ethiopian singer Gigi's sister, Tigist Shibabaw, Amharic Rap vocalist Maki Siraj, Brazilian percussionist and Vocalist Davi Vieira, cellist Dave Eggar, Ethiopian bassist Henok Temesgen, and Malian kora-player Balla Tounkara. The result of this spontaneous beat-driven collaboration simultaneously reveals an Ethiopian essence, a multicultural worldview, and an unprecedented modern sound. http://www.calabashmusic.com
