Stuart revisits the legendary artist's groovy Ethio jazz album from 1975, Eré mèla mèla'. Mahmoud Ahmed was originally a shoeshine boy in Addis Ababa before becoming one of his homeland's biggest musical stars. Now of cult status, Eré mèla mèla was the first record of modern Ethiopian music to be released in Europe and shone a refreshingly positive light on the country when coverage of the famine there was omnipresent in British media throughout the 70s and 80s. The album is a hypnotic blend of melancholic Arabic blues, heart-wrenching, off-key crooners and brassy, danceable jazz.
Plus Taiwanese ambient, avant-classical, paranormal electronica, prog rock and piano jazz from the likes of Imryll, Nite Monitor, Gentle Giant, Bugge Wesseltoft and more.
