Yemane Kidane - [2000] - Instrumental Eritrean Songs

       Yemane Kidane is famous eritrean guitarist. His passion for music started to emerge at an early age when he was given  a guitar by his brother-in-law, and his talent continued to grow since.  

       Living in Canada since 1992, Yemane's reputation as one of the top Eritrean lead guitarists earned him the honor to perform with such renowned artists such as Yemane "Baria," Bereket Menghisteab, Tsehaytu beraki and many more.

       Yemane has previously released an instrumental CD with Efrem Tesfayesus titled "Instrumental Tigrigna Songs"  in 1999.  

      However his latest solo  CD release titled "Instrumental Eritrean Songs," is indeed a sweet reminder how talented this young musician is.

Imperial Tiger Orchestra - BBC Studio Session [2012]

   

                                                   R  E  U  P  L  O  A  D   

           

Original source : Mental Groove Records

       Inspired by the golden age of Ethiopian jazz in the nineteen-seventies, in 2007 the Swiss trumpet player Raphael Anker got together a band to play, and play with, this extraordinary music. A trip to Addis Ababa to perform with and learn from the locals inspired them to record an album, taking Ethio-jazz as a starting point, but also bringing in influences from rock, jazz, funk and electronic music.

just a few words for the forthcoming first anniversary

       About year ago, I started this blog mainly in an effort to share my huge collection of Ethiopian music. I am not an internet maniac, and I am not into IT, but I can figure it out how to post some photos, textes, video links, and how to upload download links.

       Well, I am very proud now. Today, possibly tomorrow, my blog will be visited for 100.000 time. 

       Most of my D/L files are deleted. If you are partricularly interested in some album, send a comment.
