And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel
turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.

Directed and commanded by another power. The power of darkness, which many
people do not believe exists. The power of the Devil. The power of Satan. The power of Baalberith.

"Shifta Shakla" is an Ethiopian Amharic phrase which loosely translates to "Bandit Vinyl." The music on this site is all recorded from vinyl records found on my travels to different corners of the world. Enjoy.
