Tsehay Teklehaimanot - Kimsha [Ethiopia]

   R   E   U   P   L   O   A   D   

   Cruising over the Soulseek, the best P2P program sometimes gives unexpected results. 

     This album I get by one of my SLSK mate. Besides the name of the author, and the title of album and songs (which I can't verify), I have no more info.

    The only portion of information says that Tsehay Teklehaimanot is After Hours Jazz Sextet with Party Singers.

      Smooth and easy listening music, kind of jazz in an ethiopian way. Enjoy, and write to me, if you know something more about this beautiful record.

Invisible System - Live and Raw [2012] [uk+ethiopia] [EXTRACT]

Invisible System - live 2011

       Invisible System's live performances at festivals and concerts in the UK, and Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), have been known to simulate, attack, relax, exhaust people from dancing, confuse, uplift and even frighten others!

With Dennis Wint as the main front man in the UK he has become known by the press as a cross between a Jamaican/African Johnny Rotten and a rasta preacher man for spirituality and social justice whilst being a live cannon.

From playing with bands like Dreadzone to playing the main stages at festivals across the UK, Invisible System have crossed dance, dub and reggae, rock, post-punk, acid and world music with similar shows taking place alongside their Ethiopian singers in Addis.

These recordings illustrate how Invisible System sound live. A much more intense and stripped down beast than some of their album track releases.
