Search - Minyeshu :: Minyeshu: Daa Dee

Daa Dee is the first groove a baby learns in Ethiopia as it takes its first steps. It is the sound the mother makes to help her baby in its first attempt into independence. Minyeshu explores her own upbringing and the resulting positive changes in this uplifting album of strength, vulnerability, faith and doubts overcome. Daa Dee is Minyeshus fourth album, a collection of dance songs exalting love, spiritualism, and what it means to be a woman- especially a mother and daughter- in todays times. Drawing from her cultural life experiences in Africa and Europe, Minyeshu has sculpted her signature tone- a hypnotic and modern hybrid of Ethiopian grooves and melodies, delicately mixed with Western instruments and styles. Minyeshu manages to sound both accessible to a wider audience yet still authentically and proudly Ethiopian at the same time. (Songlines) brave and new musically stimulating and exciting experience.
