Hachalu Hundessa “was deep, enigmatic, resilient, enduring, and affirming

 - all at the same time. Rhythmically rejuvenating, and beautiful, 

that performance was [almost] pitch-perfect!

He not only harnesses and deploys the deep well of Oromo traditional music with

 an astonishing directness and depth, he also represents a new generation of Oromo

 musicians who can capture and mesmerize the imagination of the Oromo

 public and beyond. “
