Radio Outernational combines the rhythm section from The Eternals with a fresh saxophone and flute frontline. Old acquaintances joining forces to conjure something new. Guided by a collective ensemble approach, the music is multidimensional, exploring hypnotic psychedelic grooves, snaking ethio-funk and beyond. It transcends genre and teems with infectious energy.

Magic Carpet came together years ago, more than some twenty summers and falls. At the core, six guys from diverse musical and cultural backgrounds, who set out to perform various traditions, bring old sounds into now, music enabling rapid travel. Maybe as an educational project? Perhaps, but also a weekly gig at an Ethiopian restaurant in Chicago. Over time they came to know each other musically, lock in, and their sounds flowed joyously through house parties, block parties, street festivals.
