A: Alemayehu Eshete - Tchero Adari Negn

Alemayehu Eshete aka the Ethiopian James Brown aka Abyssinian Elvis. struts his stuff on this funk bomb; tough breaks and changes, bluesy guitar lines and horns. Punctuated with Eshete’s JB-esque vocals.

Singer, writer and composer Eshete boasts one of the largest discography in Ethiopian music. Originally released on Amha 7” AE 240A in 1970, pressed in Lebanon due to restrictions imposed by the military government at the time, entitled ‘Chiro Adarie Negne’.

AA: Mahmoud Ahmed - Bemen Sebeb Letlash

Taken from the 1978 LP on on his own label Mahmoud Ahmed Records, LR MA 10. Ahmed is a very well known figure in Ethiopian music, who gained wider appeal thanks to Crammed Discs, Buda Music and the Ethiopiques series.

As sampled by Gaslamp Killer on ‘When I'm in Awe’ featuring GonjaSufi. Included on Cut Chemist’s ‘Sound Of The Police’ mixtape from 2010.

Storm - Rare Silk (Sam McNiece Edit)

Taken from Sweet As Broken Dates, a stunning new compilation of lost Somali music, put together by @OstinatoRecords, is a 15 track story telling the story of Somali's sounds pre-civil war. The music of compilation is put together from tapes of Somali music that was buried into the ground to survive bombings.

Aamina Camaari's track is a perfect combination of beautiful vocal song, traditional instrumentalism and danceable bass line.

SILLY BITCH

Classic afrobeat from the man Fela.
The original from 1972 is a fantastic 12 minutes long and one of my favourite Fela tracks.
I wanted a shorter version to fit in a set though, so I've chopped it down a bit and rearranged a few pieces. 
Enjoy. SJE
