Oh No na Etiópia

And it don't stop! Oh No já investigou o psych turco, agora atira-se à colecção de ethio jazz de Egon. O resultado é este. Depois da World Music o world sampling? Conceito a desenvolver por aqui em breve, agora que os diggers parecem explorar outras avenidas (o psych turco ou tailandês e os grooves africanos são apenas o começo!).

When we announced an advance digital release of Ethiopium last September, little did we know that Oh No would not bring himself to finish work on the album for a few more weeks. What we have now is a newly completed and expanded 36-track version of Ethiopium. The CD is available exclusively at Stones Throw, and will be released worldwide on CD and vinyl in coming weeks.

Oh No created Ethiopium with help from Egon's record collection, inspired-by and sampled-from rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian funk, jazz, folk, soul and psychedelic rock. It is the followup to his 2007 album Dr. No's Oxperiment, the Turkish and Lebanese-inspired instrumental beat album.

Oh No na Etiópia

Oh No sampla a Etiópia no seu mais recente projecto para a Stones Throw.

Announced only a few weeks ago, Oh No follows up Dr. No’s Oxperiment by diving again into Egon’s record collection for a region-based intrumental beat album. This time he's headed into the album inspired-by and sampled-from rare 60s and 70s Ethiopian funk, jazz, folk, soul and psychedelic rock.

Even if you’ve never heard an instrument tuned to the qenet scale before[1], even if you’re more into ballads than you are tezetas[2], Oh No’s transformative effect on his source material will blow you away in its otherworldy funkiness.

Sounds cool.
