The Trio Kazanchis is a group comprising musicians from Switzerland, France and Ethiopia who play an improvisation of Ethiopian music, modern and traditional, with a variety of global rhythms.

They label the music ‘Ethiopian traditional impro-punk’. Kazanchis still reflects the swinging days of Ethio-jazz, a fusion of traditional Ethiopian music with contemporary styles like funk, jazz and soul.
