while fetsum is about to take the us by storm (after a california tour, in march hes going to perform at the sxsw festival in austin and at the pre-oscars party at the villa aurora in la) sonar kollektiv releases four seminal remixes of his song letters from damascus. one of the centre pieces of his current album the colors of hope is not describing the political situation in syria, its more of an autobiographical tale about the golden voiced german-eriteans life.

theres rarely music coming out so intimate and life-affirming at the same time. all the more its recommended to enter the world of fetsum and to draw hope from his beautiful songs. this voice will find its audience. theres no hope for that - but certainty.
