How do you improve a perfect sounding song? Sing it in a different language! uKanDanZ’s cover of War Pigs is performed in the Amharic language, one of the many languages of Ethiopia. uKanDanZ is an Ethiopian band formed in 2010, amd this track comes from their 7th album, Evil Plan.
Covers can be real tricky things for bands because ideally they want the familiarity of the song while giving it their own sound. this is made even harder when the song itself is something iconic like War Pigs, a song that it feels like has been covered by almost every metal and rock band.
However, uKanDanZ delivers. The soulful singing of Asnake Gebreyes combined with the surprisingly well placed Saxophone playing of Lionel Martin has them knock this classic heavy metal tune out of the park. From: https://cavedwellermusic.net/albums-reviews/u/ukandanz-war-pigs-amharic-cover-review/
