Twice in a Lifetime Trailer

The documentary trailer, Twice in a Lifetime, follows Debo Band, an 11-piece collective from Boston that performs popular Ethiopian music from the 60s and 70s. It captures Debo's 2009 tour through Ethiopia and Tanzania, accompanied by four traditional musicians and dancers from Addis Ababa. Through the fusion of Ethiopian folk songs with American funk and jazz, the documentary tells the story of the group's journey through different cultures, languages, and lives.

This was produced, shot and edited by me, with collaboration and support of the entire Debo Band.

Debo Band Tour 2011

Riding a wave of performance opportunities, this trailer was cut to promote Debo Band’s 2011 Tour. It was used primarily on social media as a teaser for the season to come.

I shot and edited this entirely.
