ZENA!
What do Ethio Jazz and Ethio pop sound like in 2026? 🇪🇹
We had a special interview with ZENA! A London-based duo at the forefront of preserving Ethiopian music through a modern lens!
In this conversation, they speak about their roots, Ethiopian music and lots more! It was fun, educational and intense!
Their debut project “TEMESGEN” is out now!
