Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars way up with my favorite cd's.......2002-11-05

I brought this record to a friend I was staying with out of town--he had a party that night and played it three times in a row. The whole Ethiopiques series rocks & this one with the combination of the Ethiopian pop thing and white-boots go-go grooves is just about pure pleasure.

4 out of 5 stars totally surprising.......2001-04-01

The most immediate effect of listening to this CD for the first time is surprise. The rhythms on all songs are not traditionally Ethiopian, but closer to American R&B from the 50's and 60's. Even a traditional singer like Ayalew Mesfin joins with a funky song. Girma Beyene is a complete original, borrowing very little from his own roots. Lemma Demissaw sound best to my ears. I feel he is very comfortable with the American R&B and sounds real "cool". His songs are the high point of the CD. All songs by Alemayehu Eshete display his R&B style - very successfully. This is not authentic Ethiopian Music, but it is good Ethiopian music and I recommand it to lovers of this genre.
