It is not everyday that a band keeps the promises of its name, especially in the world of sound subversion. In clear, the uKanDanZ fellows don’t think twice about overdoing it with oblique references to the Madonna manna of Get Into the Groove, yet more pogo than disco. Big sound, furious rhythm section, straightforward drumming, sly guitar and hoarse saxophone, the wild lace of the quartet hailing from Lyon stubbornly backs up the highly-charged voice of Asnaqè Guèbrèyès, the serene Abyssinian singer from Addis Abeba.
