Local musician Salem Abraha gets in touch with his spiritual side on his new EP “Live Long Wait Hope”
Abraha, who usually plays his own brand of pop/ rock either solo or part of the Ben Brown Trio, goes solo on this CD, with this set of seven introspective, tender pop songs.
He plays guitar and bass and sings appealing melodies as well as s adds djembe while extra piano and drums are added by producer Josh “The Reaper” Rau.
While the CD is classified as religious, the actual religious aspect of it is pretty understated on most tracks, which sound like pretty love songs.
Though “The Almighty examines “wisdom coming from above.”
Throughout, he sings some really captivating through laid back melodies.
He ends the CD with a very cool traditional Ethiopian song, which he plays solo with only his guitar including a very sweet acoustic guitar solo which sounds like mandolin.
Artist: Salem Abraha
