Reissue of a true cornerstone of the early digital sounds of Ethiopian music, originally released on cassette only in the early 80s, 'Teodros Makonnen With His Organ' has remained more or less unknown outside of Ethiopia until now. It is a pioneering home recording made in Ethiopia, recorded directly to tape in a single take on a Yamaha double-deck keyboard at the residence of a Saudi Arabian diplomat in Addis Ababa, recasting traditional songs in a wholly electronic style of atmospheric drum machines and hypnotic synth organs, opening new paths for musical dreaming. Essential reissue!
