The Black Jesus Experience, VIC

The Black Jesus Experience is a 10 piece Ethiojazz supertrip. An irresistibly danceable charge of traditional Ethiopian songform and 21st Century groove.

The rhymes and chimes of the Black Jesus Experience deliver musical strength and beauty through the freedom of Jazz and the vocal prism of Hip-Hop, iced with the unique voice and insightful truth of Addis Ababa/Melbourne's own Enushu Taye's hyper-melodic Amaharinya poetry. Featuring Australian jazz legend Bob Sedergreen on keyboards with Peter Harper sax and Ian Dixon trumpet, plus planks galore.

With 18 years touring Oceania, Africa, and Europe seeking inspiration and serving the groove Black Jesus Experience has been nourished by intercultural collaborations with great artists rooted in ancient traditions and originators of whole new genres.

A bag full of chunes from Black Jesus Experience's award winning back catalogue, plus the freshest of fresh new chunes from their superb latest album, Time Telling.
