The Sorcerers

Formed in Leeds and rooted in a deep appreciation for Ethiopian jazz and soundtrack culture, The Sorcerers have steadily built a reputation as one of the UK's leading exponents of contemporary Ethio-jazz. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering sounds of Mulatu Astatke and the golden era documented on the Éthiopiques compilations, the band blend modal melodies, hypnotic grooves and layered textures into a sound that feels both archival and forward-looking.
