MORE VINTAGE!, volume 22 in the brilliant ETHIOPIQUES series,
collects recordings from Ethiopian pop superstar Alemayehu Eshete
made during the early 1970s. In addition to showcasing Alemayehu,
this set shines a light on one of the key behind-the-scenes figures
in Ethiopian pop, organist and arranger Girma Beyene. Something of
Booker T. to Alemayehu's Otis Redding, it's Girma who provides the
tight-as-a-drum funk and jazz grooves over which Alemayehu lets his
stunning vocals glide. Although this is text-book Ethiopian pop
from the golden era, listeners will hear the obvious influences of
American soul and R&B, making for a riveting and illuminating
lesson in the depths of the African musical diaspora.
