Description | 2011 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Australia and the Republic of Korea. In celebration of this significant milestone, 2011 has been designated the Australia-Korea Year of Friendship, which has comprised a wide range of arts and cultural, education and trade events aimed at deepening bilateral ties.
Dereb the Ambassador performed two concerts as part of the Jeonju International Sori Festival. Dereb Desalegn (aka Dereb the Ambassador) is well known on the streets of Addis Ababa as one of Ethiopia’s most respected singers. On arriving in Sydney, Dereb collaborated with producer Tony Buchen, to put together his latest project, assuming the moniker Dereb the Ambassador, after a title given to him years earlier by the Ethiopian media. Dereb and his 8 piece band continue to develop new material and satisfying crowds with their gritty, addictive brand of Ethio-soul. |
