Moa Anbessa

VINYL FORMAT. Getatchew Mekuria is the most revered veteran of the Ethiopian saxophone. He is the inventor of Shellele, a musical style originating from a heroic war-chant, translated to saxophone. The Ex fell in love with Ethopia and its music while touring there. When Getatchew went to the Netherlands he brought ten solo saxophone versions of Ethiopian tunes with him. Here Getatchew's melodies and solos mesh with The Ex's rhythms, noise and vocals, supported by a guest horn section, like they were made for each other! Recorded April 3-4, 2006 at Jottem, Wormerveer, Netherlands.
