The power of radio. Due to time difference I rely on the listen again option and if we did not have that I would not have got on this musical ride. A brilliant show and I immediately purchased some of this music. Like the previous comment i had one in the vaults somewhere but this show really sparked something off again.
Fantastic and thanks again to JS and his team
Christine, the "John S mix" of the Ethiopiques series would consist of me starting Volume 7 at the beginning and playing it through to the end. Mahmoud Ahmed's "Ere Mela Mela" was the album that jolted me into awareness of the Ethio-pop scene back in 1985 or 86, and it remains my favorite album from that scene.
I can't thank John/you enough for last night's AMAZING broadcast of Ethioptiques. I actually bought one of the albums on a whim from Kim's video music store in the mid 90's ... loved it, and promptly forgot it when I "storaged" my hundreds of CDs, having digitized only a smattering of favorites ... what a mistake, as your program proved. I need to be listening to this music more often! Thanks for bringing it to light and for the exceptionally well-edited selection you played last night. I wish I could have the John S mix from the whole 20-volume set!!!
