Mahmoud Ahmed : Etu Gela


Mahmoud Ahmed : Etu Gela.
Been playing this in the car on and off all day today.
Long time favourite of mine with one of the heaviest basslines ever.
Killer afro-beat.

    if we go to africa of course is etiopia, very different sounds from the rest of the continent, the closer to jazz (mulatu?)
    Etu Gela very nice, from Etiopiques 19. also if someone interested 'Etiopiques 6 - Mahmoud Ahmed - Almaz - 1973', 'Etiopiques 7 - Mahmoud Ahmed - 'Ere mela mela' - 1975' and 'Mahmoud Ahmed - Live in Paris - 1994'
    happy week end

    Thanks for this killer track, I had to go out and get the album. I'd only heard Ere mela mela, but it's an all time fav.

    Thanks Corvimax for the recommendations, I'll be looking for those as well.

    Love this blog!

    Yeah... this is Ethiopian pop, not Afrobeat. But nice all the same!
