From Belgium. The 5 piece band blends Ethio-jazz with funk and other styles. This is the band's 5th and newest release.

Described as "Ethiodubjazz" Belgium's Black Flower's album 'Intermediate State' was inspired from Salvador Dali's creative dreaming ritual. "With a pair of scissors in his hand, he sat back, closed his eyes and slid into sleep. The moment his body and mind enter deep sleep, the scissors dropped and waked him up. Dali then started painting using the inspiration he gathered from his dreams."

Psychedelic band from Belgium. This is their second full length album. blackflower1.bandcamp.com

"Artifacts" is the third album from this Belgian ensemble.

Belgian psyche-delicious and accessible 21st century Ethiodubjazz. As if John Zorn put on Fela Kuti’s shoes and imbibed Mulatu Astatke’s whirls. blackflower1.bandcamp.com

World. Truly international, Black Flower's members are scattered between Texas and Belgium. The group draws on Ethiopian Afrodub, oriental styles and a lot more.
