Just wanted to let you know about a very special new CD, ‘The very best of Ethiopiques’, features a uniquely Ethiopian take on jazz, funk and soul from the 60s and 70s. You’ll love it, as do Elvis Costello, Robert Plant, Patti Smith, Tom Waits, Damon Albarn and Brian Eno. If you'd like to hear what all the fuss is about, check out

`some of the most blistering big band funk, soul and jazz work outs, when Addis was as hot as Muscle Shoals'
(Mojo 4 stars)

` almost every track is thrillingly addictive '
(Uncut 5 stars)

`a well-focused, illuminating insight into the richness of Ethiopian music through 28 tracks of mesmerizing playing and singing'

`Smouldering jazz from the moodiest midnight dive, wild jabbering vocals that make Little Richard quite polite, mighty soul brass, ancient dusty lyres, lonely pianos, the most convoluted time signatures ever'
