“I crave for knowledge
I envy tolerant, peaceful folks.
I am frightened by ignorance
I loathe violence.”

“Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was given by the most high of creation. Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe, and each other.” – Haile Selassie.

Somebody wrote againest the selling of land, he said that we Ethiopians are spiritual, that is the only thing I have and because of this deep root spirituality I am very proud.

Tomas is the real deal. Each project is a new journey, a stretching of musical boundaries, a new education for the performers and the audience. He keeps moving forward, expanding his palette and challenging himself to continue to grow and evolve as an artist – and challenging his fans to keep up with him!

He’s also a great bandleader, bringing disparate performers together in a pressure cooker that yields new, alchemical gold.

Power of trinity is one of his very best, fueled by his passion for history, equality, personal empowerment and his love of music from all over the world. The band is amazing live and on the CD, and the Blue Note performance was especially electrifying.
