Paal Nilssen Love’s ever-changing Large Unit has already touched on the drummer/composer’s affinity for Brazilian music on the 2016 album Ana. This latest retains a hint of the Brazilian flavour, with twanging berimbau and barking cuica, but for the most part it’s a celebration of traditional Ethiopian music, which finds the Scandinavian Big Band teaming up with Ethiopian troupe Fendika. The dancers, vocalists and musicians of Fendika have already collaborated with Dutch improv-anarcho-punks The Ex, and guitarist Terrie Ex is on hand here, adding his trademark serrated twang and judder to some furiously upbeat grooves that reveal just how much his group have absorbed Ethiopian rhythms. Recorded in front of an enthusiastically whooping audience at the Molde jazz festival, this show is an irrepressibly joyous non-stop dance party propelled by gleaming horn charts and hollering vocal encouragements. Yet, somehow, within the bouncing bumptiousness, there’s room for some subtlety too – in the flickering moments of group improvisation when the grooves temporarily dissolve, and in the mournful mysticism of the masingo Ethiopian fiddle, which floats over the proceedings like a presiding spirit.
