Spoken poetry has a long history in Ethiopia, finding contemporary expression in Poetry Jazz. Based on this popular style of performance poetry, the evening fuses recitation in Amharic, English and German with musical elements that draw connections between traditional Ethiopian pentatonic music, jazz influences and electronic music.The event is an experimental get-together of acclaimed poets and musicians, joining in an exercise of styles and improvisation. They engage in investigations of the geographical places that are based on a plethora of acoustic sources, ranging from traditional flute playing to the latest urban field recordings. Continual shifts in languages, reiteration, fragmentation, translations and re-translations, as well as changes in metres and rhythms, create awareness of the subtle divergences of meaning that can be attributed to social and cultural influences, while exploring the gains and losses of such unspoken and outspoken interactions.With Frezer Admasu, Eric Ellingsen, Mihret Kebede, Robert Lippok, Nebiy Mekonnen, Bekele Mekonnen, Neo Muyanga, Jorga Mesfin, Tasew Wendem Mose, Solomon Sahle, Rike Scheffler, Misrak Terefe, Rediet Terefe
