Ethiopiques 13 Ethiopiques Artists CD

From the early '60s through to 1974, Ethiopia lived its "wild years:" the years of pop, soul and rock 'n roll; of miniskirts and bell-bottoms, of Afros and Elvis hairdos--it was a time of intense urban fun. This was undoubtedly the golden age of modern Ethiopian music. Never had the capital seen such intense nightlife--Addis was on par with 1960s swinging London!
However, this age of the record was also the finale of Ethiopia's wild, happy years. As soon as the military leaders rose to power, record production dropped off rapidly, only to end altogether in 1978. Censorship, curfews, propaganda, harassment of musicians and the forced exile of many artists decimated Ethiopian music for a long while after.
