Mitmitta creates one-of-a-kind sets ranging from sophisticated jazz to thumping sounds of mystical and up-tempo music from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, Djibouti, Tanzania & Somalia.
Deeply hypnotized by East African sounds from vinyl and audiotapes, Vemund Brune Hareide - Mitmitta or ‘Kidus’ in Ethiopia is originally from Norway but has been based in Ethiopia for the last 11 years. He has run a cassette shop in Addis Abeba, known as Mitmitta Muzika, while also creating hundreds of parties in the capital and around Europe and the USA. He has re-issued music from the region under the label Mitmitta Muzika along with archiving his extensive cassette collection.
He travels with a selection of records and audiotapes largely unknown to the world to accommodate various settings for listening and dancing.
