Who needs direction and melody in a song? The problem with this album is it’s simply not long enough: “Shinet” could be 5 hours long, and I would <I>never</I> get bored of it. If the background singers sound like dying cats, it's <I>your</I> problem. I love it! Unfortunately, it’s impossible to find this music outside of Washington, DC, so if you’re there, go seek out Nahom Records and Ethio Sound. It’s a shame that this genius passed away.

In the article Andy Moor (The Ex) discusses the controversies of the popularization of African Music in the west.

We spoke with Tadesse's wife soon after he passed away on July 30, 2007. Tadesse was born in the village of Chaabar Kabale in the Wollega region. He grew up in Debra Zeit (45 km south of Addis). He started his schooling in Debra Zeit and finished in Dire Dawa, in Eastern Ethiopia, on the road to Djibouti. Tadesse started to teach himself music when he was in the army. He started his professional career relatively late and eventually released 5 cds. He sang in Amharic, Tigrigna and Oromo, and was particular popular for his religious songs. <BR/><BR/>Great stuff, John, if you haven't yet, check out Fekeraddis Neketebeb!! She's my favorite modern Ethiopian singer.matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11365485550008886623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-85330322701215317772008-11-02T15:50:00.000-06:002008-11-02T15:50:00.000-06:00damn! great post man.and thickened with great link...damn! great post man.<BR/>and thickened with great links and tracks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-18991949444236125832008-11-02T15:18:00.000-06:002008-11-02T15:18:00.000-06:00"Spirit of Sheba" was produced by Francis Falceto ..."Spirit of Sheba" was produced by Francis Falceto of "Ethiopiques" fame and recorded in Paris with a mixture of Ethiopian and French musicians.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-76911231614064531632008-11-02T10:03:00.000-06:002008-11-02T10:03:00.000-06:00Thanks for this.One of my favorite later Ethiopian...Thanks for this.<BR/>One of my favorite later Ethiopian albums is Spirit of Sheba by Netsanet Mellesse...Do you know if that was an Ethiopian production, or was it also recorded in the US (or Europe)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
