Ayal�w M�sfin and Mulatu Astatke back to back on this 45!

A. Ayal�w M�sfin ft. Black Lion Band - Ghedawou

Ethiopian dance floor Funk rarity originally released on Kaifa 7� (KF 31) in 1976. Hand claps, guitar lines and call and response lead vocals punctuate the driving bass line and understated drum groove. Mesfin played primarily at the Lumumba Club in Addis Ababa�s red light district
and released many 45�s and cassettes during the mid seventies. He worked very closely with the Black Lion Band (or Tequr Ambessa Orchestra)

AA. Mulatu Astatke ft. Feqadu Amd�-Mesqel - Asmarina

Laid back, drum-heavy, Ethipian jazz taken from the legendary Ethio Jazz� LP on
Amha (AELP 90). Typifies the sound of the country and the period, truly classic
stuff. Mulatu will be touring heavily in 2016, which we are very much looking forward
to.
