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.

  10. 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!
