Ethiopian Music Selections Vol 2

This morning I got up and digitized the second volume of the Ethiopian music mixtape. On the first volume I purposely left out any Mulatu tracks, though some were used in DJ Dexterity's mix that made up part of the first volume. This time I used more of the classic Ethiopian sound, the Ethio-jazz type sound that many prefer in the range of Ethiopian music. It's important to have a balance though, between the classic sound and the contemporary sound, which though sometimes a bit 'cheesier' to American ears, is much more 'on the pulse' of Ethiopian society. A good way to get a window into Ethiopian music is to watch Erta TV where a lot of the television programming is music.

Here's the cover and the file. Enjoy!
