Another great classic off the Ethiopiques series. Ethiopian music is really the best promoted one from Africa. I'm glad that with the French label they get quite some audience. I didn't post for some days that was because of christmas. Now I want to feature Mahmoud Ahmed in one post only for him. Born in 1941 in Addis Ababa, he's one of the most important musicians, having been featured in 3 Ethiopiques volumes already. (6, 7 and 19). Here's a video of him performing in Paris, I think it is. He grew old over the years making music but he didn't lose his energy :)

Though I needed to keep you up to date with latest news on Ethiopian music.
www.ethiopiques.info
It's a fansite set up to celebrate the release of a 2CD pack of classic Ethiopian groove.
Just thought you might be interested.
Best wishes
