Synopsis

Album Description
"I am really into Ethiopian pop music, which has a very individual character because the country was closed off for so many years. The Ethiopiques series has done a lot to make the riches of the music available ..., and I would recommend them to anyone with a passing interest in world music...the music really sounds as though something is bursting into life. It is very poignant, and very beautiful, too." - Elvis Costello

It is great, but...
jive rhapsodist | NYC, NY United States | 03/03/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"...I'm not sure I understand the hype over this one. I like it a lot but I cannot put it on the same exalted level as Vol.'s 1, 3, 6,7,8,9 and 14. It might be something like a preference for Sam Cooke over James Brown...or it might not. I'm going to live with it some more. Track 4 is extraordinary. Anyway, you can't go wrong buying an Ethiopiques disc..."
