Title:
Ethiopiques Volume 11 - The Harp Of King David
Label:
BUDA MUSIQUE (FRANCE)
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
BUDA 82232
Solo album by Alčmu Aga for voice and Bčgučna, an oversized lyre with ten strings. A rich, seductive, drone-inflected sound, with completely mesmerizing parameters. "For more than twenty years, Alemu Aga has been recognized as one of the masters of the Bčgučna. He was recorded as early as 1972 by Cynthia Tse-Kimberlin, an American musicologist specialized in the Ethiopian string instruments, for UNESCO collections. Kassa sings songs of religious inspiration as well as a tale, or traditional folk stories. Meditative, devotional or uplifting for some, simply 'mind-blowing' for others, bčgučna music is without doubt an otherworldly experience for Western ears. First released in 1995, this CD remains the sole album dedicated exclusively to the Bčgučna." -- Francis Falceto. Limited stock.

Ethiopiques Volume 19 - Alemye (1974)

BUDA MUSIQUE (FRANCE)

CD
Price:
$19.00
Catalog #:
BUDA 86010
"Authentic legend in Ethiopia, Mahmoud Ahmed set up the bases of a definitively original music in his way to synthesize various influences in a typical and universal language. With his rough and velvety voice which rises in hallucinated spirals, Mahmoud Ahmed invents a world with uncertain borders, mixing improbable Afro-Eastern rhythm and mysterious chants with refined ornamentations and melodies with surprising Indian inspirations. This record presents various tone and electric sound, hot grooves swinging and funk passing by strange incursions by the side of reggae music." The third volume of Mahmoud Ahmed music on this label, this time featuring recordings from 1974. Limited stock.
