Sunday Arts on the ABC occasionally has some amazing musicians doing a live track or two in the studio (a previous find was Kaki King back in April). This tme we got dance/reggae/funk outfit BOMBA joined by Ethiopian singing sensation and master of the traditional Masenko, Dareb Desalegn (who I will have to chase up another time).

“All Night Long” is just a killer exercise in groove, they nail the whole vibe perfectly. The guitars, bass and drums are perfect.

Some hype from their site…

BOMBA is renowned for their energetic live shows and passionate performances. The secret of BOMBAs success has always been their eclectic and righteous party blend of riddems, beats, dubs and funky soul! Bombas third album Learn To Breathe blends all these sounds with their impeccable reggae sensibilities and finds them poised to convert new fans not only in Australia, but overseas as well. If you’ve got thirsty ears and itchy feet come out and sample some of the most intense dance grooves, rich harmonies, powerful horns and soulful original material this side of the equator.

“Hold Your Ground” and “High Time” also recommended, and they are playing in Melbourne in August.

thatch is fascinated by guitars, music, guitars, production, silly noises, guitars and used to be a musician. Did I mention the thing about the guitars?
