"Akalé Wubé’s third album, Sost ('three' in Amharique) is perfectly in line with their previous records, it is also a testament to a more mature and experienced band, who have proved able to win over different audiences in different circumstances with their infectious grooves.

A puzzling but liberating discovery that convinced the band to completely stand behind their project, and release three albums to date. More than half of the tracks in 'Sost' are original compositions, with the other half being songs discovered on old cassette tapes brought back from Ethiopia. Akalé Wubé have invited the radiant Genet Asefa on three tracks, an Ethiopian singer with whom they have often shared the stage. ..."
