Eritrean Wedding Songs ~ Golden Oldies from the 1960's-70's







a sterling collection of 16 vintage, catchy as hell eritrean matrimonial burners that rank just as highly as any ethiopian rawness, just have a listen. no anglicized traque or artist names either; merely question marks, unimaginatively improvised cover art & ear candy. i gotta foggy notion of what this record actually looks like, but it's been awhile. any additional artwork, song titles & artist info is appreciated in kind. also if you know where more of these kinda jams live, or have anything from the horn of afrique or red sea for that matter, kindly shine a light. when i initially started sharing musique here, i had only a handful of friends in mind & i was doing most of the educating. it's been a bit over a month now & i've owlready learned a staggering amount from reader contributions, so thanks to everyone for yr generous inclusiveness & 'sound advice'. kindly keep em coming so we might continue to glean a bit more from these rich & under-appreciated cultures. shout out to the inimitable professor cantaloupe
