TERANGA BEAT proudly presents YISHAK BANJAW on his first international release. YISHAK BANJAW is a composer and keyboard player from Addis Ababa known to his country for his innovative compositions and unique sound. His ability to transform traditional Ethiopian songs into spacey Minimal-Wave gems creates an ultra hypnotic and psychedelic atmosphere, a sound that you have never experienced before.  

Love Songs Vol.2 was recorded in 1986 at Yishak’s house, while he was working for the Police Band in Eritrea. It was released by an Eritrean label on cassette and was also distributed in Ethiopia. However, due to the shaky political situation, Yishak was forbidden to travel anywhere outside his country, including Ethiopia. Consequently Love Songs Vol.2 remained a very obscure and neglected musical experiment. Until now Yishak has released 7 albums on cassette but, unlike many Ethiopian musicians, has never managed to reach a wider and international audience. 
 
On this album Yishak Banjaw chose to play everything on a small Casio PT, “a keyboard for kids” as he proudly mentions. He recorded the whole album live, directly to his tape recorder. Although his main instrument was a Godwin keyboard, he actually preferred to rent the Casio from a friend, as he was blown away by the way it sounded. This choice alone reveals a genuine talent that dared to beyond what his colleagues were doing at that time.

The LP version of the album is a Deluxe Edition and comes with a gatefold cover, a printed insert and an MP3 download code. The CD version includes a booklet with photos and liner notes outlining the story of this unique musician who carried the long tradition of Ethiopia into another level.

LYRICS
Mr. Tillman good to see you again 
there’s a few outstanding charges just before we check you in 
let’s see here, you left your passport in the mini fridge and a message with the desk says here the picture isn’t his 
and oh just a reminder about our policy don’t leave your mattress in the rain if you sleep on the balcony 
OK, did you and your guests have a pleasant stay? what a beautiful tattoo that young man had on his face 
oh, will you need a driver out to Philly? 
Jason Isbell’s here as well and he seemed a little worried about you 

I’m feeling good, damn, I’m feeling so fine 
I'm living on a cloud above an island in my mind 
oh baby, don’t be alarmed this is just my vibe 
no need to walk around no it’s not too bad to climb 

Mr. Tillman for the seventh time we have no knowledge of a film that is being shot outside 
those aren't extras in a movie, they're our clientele 
no, they aren’t running lines and they aren’t exactly thrilled 
would you like a regalo on the patio? is there someone we can call? perhaps you shouldn’t drink alone?

God's Favorite Customer

Mr. Tillman

Been blogging, music sharing, etc. for a while now (see blog under this name) & DJing since 1982. I like all kinds of music.

Most of my playlists are not organized & just hold songs I'm interested in, many of which I haven't listened to yet. The "freeform current listening" playlist is as it says & will be updated regularly. Many of my reposts were unintentional, they were just random tracks I was trying to add to a playlist using my phone & I've got clumsy fingers.

writes songs. sings them. she/her. currently living and working on Wurundjeri land. new album Things Take Time, Take Time out Nov 12
