"The group is based around the core collaboration between producer and vibraphonist Luciano Cantone and multi-instrumentalist Gianluca Petrella, expanded to feature band members and guests from Italy, Finland, Ethiopia, the US and Gambia ... This is Afrobeat meets Ethio-jazz ... The footprints of [Fela Kuti and Mulatu Astatke] are everywhere on this album, which is none the worse for it. Yoruba rhythms drive on swirling dub-style Habesha atmospheres; chunky horn sections blast between Nigeria and Ethiopia in their melodies. Other styles sneak in there occasionally: there are moments when it bursts through into fullfrontal jazz, there's fleeting flavours of hip-hop production and Benjamin 'Bentality' Paavilainen's half-spoken poetry is a treat in the two tracks he's featured on, sparking inescapable comparisons to Gil Scott-Heron. Ethio-Afrobeat is not exactly untrod ground, but The Invisible Session do it as well as any I've heard".
