Ethiopiques 8 Swinging Addis CD

This is the eighth volume in this spectacular series of vintage Ethiopian music.
Volume 8 includes classic soul and R&B from the time when Addis Ababa was a swinging town! All tracks were recorded between 1969-1973 before the fall of Emperor Haile Selassie and vividly capture the spirit that flowered briefly and the music that drove it.
This music stomps and swaggers, dripping with horns, nearly toppling with attitude. This is music the hip cognoscenti simply can't believe passed beneath their radar for so long. Most of these folks might crowd the line toward amateur, but their sincerity and fire cannot be denied.
