Play Duma Dume {Video}
Ethiopia’s Asgegnew Ashko (Asge in short) gifts us with an explosive and amazing dance-song, Duma Dume – published only in May 2019. He is, in it, himself a thunderbolt across the region. What a wild and sunny and, let’s admit it, surprising package of synchronized performances we have here! I saw it for the first time only on June 3rd 2019. Out of the blue, it seemed, we had an awesome and unprecedented beat from Ethiopia and for Africa. Its ripple-effect will be felt all across sub-Sahara, even as we seek to understand its genesis.
