F***ING AWESOME. I've always been curious about that "Ethiopiques" series, and now I'm kicking myself for never checking one out!
I picked up Vol. 8 "Swinging Addis" and am really diggin it. I think I'll go for a more jazz oriented one next time. I AM hooked. Thanks again! I also pushed your mix on some friends, and that's going over well.
Vol. 4 is the most jazz oriented I think. It features Duke Ellington on the cover, and the tracks are by Mulate Astatke, who is still touring! Enjoy!
Oh neat. I have a recent album by Mulatu Astatke & The Heliocentrics (which I really like), so it'll be cool to hear where it started.
8tracks goes where you go.
this is good shit
