***Two new dance tracks on vinyl. The era of the Epthiopian big brass bands came to an end in the period of 1975-1991. After that, many great musicians were forced into exile or passed away. The horns mostly disappeared and were replaced by the awful overproduced pop—synthesizers, vocoders, drum machines and hasty productions that all sounded alike. In the last few years something new is emerging. Young producers have started combining traditional rhythms & strong dance beat production. The result is very original, uplifting and very danceable music. The gurage, wollo, gondar, konso and other traditional rhythms work wonders for this new dance music. And the Ethiopian youth loves it. No Export to the UK or Europe.
