Éthiopiques 8: Swinging Addis
Tracked express shipping from Italy, no customs or import VAT in the EU. Shipping costs
*2024 stock* In the 1960s there was a Swinging Addis just as there was a Swinging London. In Ethiopia, as in Europe bor the USA, the first generation born after the war made their noisy, colourful breakthrough onto the scene. A veritable cultural revolution rather than a simple generational conflict. With music as its detonator and its common denominator. This volume aims to collect the clearest examples of soul, R'n'B and even twist in the recordings of the Ethiopian 'sixties'. The quintessence of the most outrageously cosmopolitan styles - yet so firmly anchored in the local soul.
