Souvenirs est le premier album chanté de la religieuse, compositrice et pianiste éthiopienne bien aimée Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru. Ce sont des enregistrements faits sur casse8es, profondément émouvants, réalisés au milieu des bouleversements poli:ques et de la tourmente. Ce sont des chansons de sagesse, de perte, de deuil et d'exil, chantées directement dans un boombox et accompagnées par le piano incomparable d'Emahoy.
Bien qu'il ait été écrit et enregistré alors qu'elle vivait encore dans sa maison familiale à Addis-Abeba, Emahoy chante le chagrin d'être loin de chez soi, une réflexion sur la révolution de 1974 et la Terreur rouge en Éthiopie, et un pressentiment de son futur exil à Jérusalem. Au XXIe siècle, Emahoy est devenue célèbre dans le monde entier pour son style mélodique et rythmique tout à fait unique.

Mulatu Astatke

Ethio Jazz

The Ethio Jazz album by Mulatu Astatqé is a jewel of the modern Ethiopian music and a mythical album, since the beginning of Ethiopian music reissues. An incredibly groovy Ethiopian record, originally from 1969-1972. Amazing orchestral 'Ethio-groove' filled with US soul, jazz, sometimes Latin and the deepest Eastern rhythms, even including some great nasty and dirty fuzz guitars. A true gem of Ethiopian modern instrumental music, which illustrates perfectly this symbiosis of strong rhythms and quality arrangements of subtle yet deep Ethiopian melodies. A must for all '60s/'70s collectors!

French Rare Groove (Rare Funky Songs From France)

Wagram offers up a mega-rare groove compilation, and a one-way ticket to France from the late 60s to the early 80s. Spanning movie soundtrack cuts to releases that have never seen the light of day, you're not likely to know many of the names on this one, thanks to its super-niche focus. Nevertheless, what links funk and France is fromage, so they go together like cheese in a rind. Worth the grind!
