Although Dub Colossus was an idea born in the head of the UK-citizen Nick Page (of Transglobal Underground), the band plays Ethiopian music through and through.
Page – aka Dubulah – first visited Ethiopia in 2006 and has started his adventure with bunch of local musicians including Tsedenia Gebremarkos, Sintayehu ‘Mimi’ Zenebe, Samuel Yirga, Feleke Hailu and Teremage Woretaw. This is how Dub Colossus was born. So far the effects have been amazing – three full length albums: A Town Called Addis (2008), Addis Through The Looking Glass (2011) and this year’s Dub Me Tender vol 1+2.
