Kuku Sebsebe

Kuku Sebsebe (surname also spelled Sebsibe) is an Ethiopian popular singer. She lived in the Washington, DC, area of the United States for many years but moved back to Ethiopia c. 2003. She generally performs with synthesizer and drum machine accompaniment, occasionally with the addition of traditional instruments such as the "krar" or other instruments such as the electric guitar. Although using modern instruments and harmonies, her vocal style is essentially traditional, using modes such as "tezeta".
