Anyone heard this? Apologies that he's sorta been covered, but it was in Dutch (I think).

Opinions?

Great record. Jimmy is menacing and soothing at the same time, a duality that is evident in many of my other favourite Ethopian singers.

Jimmy's band is excellent throughout (the krar playing is particularly spindly and nasty!), and when they're augmented by Han Bennink they kind of remind me of This Heat feat. Mahmoud Ahmed (which never happened, I know).

good god would that have been awesome, though.

How's Mekurya's playing? He's on a few of the tracks, right? I find him absolutely devastating in small doses, which seems to be the exact prescription on this one...

Did you mean: Taxable Mohammed Jimmy Mohammed

This sounds interesting.

The track here is pretty righteous.
