"in un giorno che volevo sentirmi giovane questo disco mi ha fatto sentire come se asoltassi musica per la prima volta" .incredibile che una musica così bella venga da uno dei posti più martoriati del mondo.

The Essential Disk in this series

Stevie_Ray_Kwon

The Ethiopiques series has now gone over 20 volumes. I have enjoyed most of the series immensely, I would suggest that this is THE essential disc in this series, it's a great blend of 60's soul and funk, but with a unique Ethiopian twist. If You've been curious about this series THIS is the place to start!

Pure Class.

The drums, horns, organ and guitar are funky and raw. The singing takes it up another notch!

They Say All Music Guide

Whether you’re aware of it or not, an argument has long simmered in the minds of funk fans. Simply put, did James Brown get the idea for ’70s sound from African musicians like Fela, or did they cop the groove from him? Like all chicken/egg arguments, this one seems destined to remain unresolved. Albums like this don’t help. The eighth in the Ethiopiques series is but the latest to bring the funk in a serious way. This music stomps and swaggers, dripping with horns, nearly toppling with attitude. This is yet another volume of simply astonishing music, music the hip cognoscenti simply can’t believe passed beneath their radar for so long. Most of these folks might crowd the line toward amateur, but their sincerity and fire cannot be denied. Simply astounding music. – Rob Ferrier
