Waiting Game

from "Ethiopiques Volume 28: Ali Mohammed Birra, Great Oromo Music" (track 9): 2013 release by Buda Musique, with 3 unreleased bonus tracks of the 60s > http://bit.ly/15Mzhw3

the Dire Dawa guitar style: "In 1966, when Ali Birra went to an audition for Emperor Haile Selassie’s Imperial Body Guard Band, he was asked if he played any instruments. He replied that he played the oud but was then told they did not have an oud in Addis. Instead Ali was given a guitar, which he tuned like an oud because that was what he knew the best. Thus, the inimitable Ali Birra sound was born." - Andreas Hansen for Addis Rumble > bit.ly/14QJJiq

Antene Worqu -- Men Tadergiwalesh

This track was lifted from one side of a HMV 78 that I picked up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in May 2012. It is particularly interesting as the lyrics are a mixture of Somali and Oromo yet the melody is Amharic.
