Creaking horns, wheezing Farfiza organ and soulful, Middle Eastern-tinged vocals are the hallmarks of these rare recordings from the Golden Age of Ethiopian popular music, made during Haile Sellasie's reign before the military shut down Addis Abbaba's nightlife. Soul, jazz and UK '60s pop had infiltrated the music, adding new color to the swirling, elliptical local grooves--often with stunning effect.
