But they were mainly what you call in Ethiopian Jazz or Pop style, not Rock Style. This is what you call a Pioneer Band. One thing I appreciate is the band seems to have been put together carefully based of on their talent — on gift in voice and ability to play well in a full band. Recently the great well established Ethiopian singer KuKu Sebsebe made a great observation when asked about the differences she sees between older generation musicians and today’s. She said during the old times, “musicians needed to have a gift in voice and ability to play with full band, while modern musicians need not have a discernable voice and can sing with a synthesized backup and with little or no need for big musical bands.” By the way this problem is also seen in the West, not only in Ethiopia!!

Every generation should have and must be allowed to have his own sound by building on the older generation music. These so called “guardian of Tradition” are anti-creativity and innovation. They don’t seem to understand the great singers of the 60s had also their own sound………a new one different from those before them!

Though I believe there is a slightly different strategy in Ethiopia, the CD should be available just about everywhere as well as hopefully through the label website by next Tuesday (both CD and digital).

I’ve been listening nonstop to this since January or February. And not just because I work for Bill and the label, but because I really do think it’s a great album. I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I do. They really are a talented bunch.

I think they are confused to call it rock music. It is sad they are walking under the shadow of European mentality. Rock is not Ethiopian and can not be either. Be yourself and preserve the purity of our music.
