***DEBO BAND returns to the Electric Cowbell roster with another hit out of the park! “Gedawo” is an Ethio-funk classic by the great singer Ayalew Mesfin who recorded several hits in the 1970s. Recorded live in Ethiopia, this version features the background vocals, clapping, and traditional drumming of the group FENDIKA, Debo’s vibrant collaborators from Addis Ababa. A perfect vehicle for charismatic Debo-frontman BRUCK TESFAYE, “Gedawo” is a rousing dance anthem performed by a contemporary 15-piece funk powerhouse. In stark contrast, KIDDID’s B-side “Gedubwo Mix” swaps drum kit and sousaphone for drum machine and square-wave, flipping the tune on its head into digi-dub territory.  A chugging Tubby-esque take on the raucous original. Comes in medium weight 7” brown paper sleeve with full-color vintage postage stamp sticker on the sleeve.
