KAŸN LAB: The Story
KAŸN LAB: The Story
KAŸN LAB was formed out of a desire to have an outlet of creativity not normally found in other musical situations. Being a group of composers, we wanted to write music as well as play. Our focus is more on jazz with heavy Ethiopian influences. As we continue to experiment with new sounds and especially new applications of the modes and rhythms of Ethiopia, we just hope we can create something enjoyable for our audience as well as for us. Everything being experimental we expect to have some positive and negative reactions to the music. Our aim, however, is always to be innovative in the most positive way possible. We hope you will join us on our journey!
