Kaethe Hostetter – Debo Band Veteran – Finds Roots in Ethiopia with Zena Bel Band

This cadre of musical pioneers took a trip to Ethiopia to perform last year, and Kaethe Hostetter – a multi-talented violinist – decided to stay on to perfect her craft. Kaethe and her newly formed Zena Bel Band brought Azmari music to the U.S., and we caught up to them while on tour.
