Arat Kilo — TouloArat Kilo’s third album, entitled Visions Of Selam, is a wish for universal peace. Selam means Peace in Amharic. But it’s also the name of the Australopithecus fossil discovered in Afar. What would this individual, born 3 million years ago, think of this world? Malian singer Mamani Keita and rapper Mike Ladd join the Paris-based ethio-groove band Arat Kilo in their quest to explore this theme in their signature ethio-jazz style by blending in Mandinka vocals, rap, afrobeat, groove, dub & more.
