YES OMG I'm Ethiopian and have listened to Ethiopiques oldies my whole life. The 70's-80's is my favorite era of this type of music. Shoutout to Nahom, I have never been able to listen to Eritrean music from this time period. I love hearing differences and similarities in the music. You are keeping history alive! Derg and war led to so much destruction of these types of cultural artifacts I'm sure esp. with vinyl not being produced in the country for very long. Great job Nahom!
I read Nahom's set description while listening to the first song. I know very little about Eritrea's pre-1980s history, so I searched for photos from 1972 to give some background to the musical influences. I didn't know the civil war was during the early 70s. When I heard "Asmarena", I realized that I had been so engrossed by my research into Eritrea that I had not paid much attention to the soundtrack playing in the background, so this evening I sat down with a glass of wine and listened to the set without any distractions (except the dogs, cats, and horses in the background), trying to imagine what life was like for Eritreans playing and listening to this music during the civil war. I wasn't expecting that it would take me on both a political and music rabbit hole. I found "Fana Negash" (not sure if that is the name of the song, the singer or a combination) and music by Beyene Frey and a love song by Negash Tekie thanks to the YT algorithm. Thank you for preserving this bit of musical history, Nahom. Many blessings to you and the MAJ family.
Ethiopia erased and distributed so much of Eritreas history literature, music and other records but this Gem keeps finding the music specifically them and preserving them, Nahom is an absolute legend. Proud to be Eritrean 🇪🇷❤️.
Hey yo. This is not music only but also history so, i cant say anything but bro keep it up. Thank you also for keeping and letting us hear our history.
Thank you all the songs in this album are my favourite.This guy he looks very young how does he knows all this songs.Most of this songs had sang before he was born.Amazing young man.
Thank you for sharing, Nahom! Growing up I mostly heard traditional music and I didn't think much else existed. This was an eye opener for sure. It's heart warming to hear these new sounds, and it makes me both glad and sad if that makes sense...thank you
Great job, one day Eritreans will freely express their art, voice, and talent. Please continue to collect the history of our music. Yemane barya is also an artist to remember. 👍🏽
@My Analog Journal. This is great. It would also be nice to hear some Ethio Jazz grooves either from Ethiopiques or some songs not published there. Thanks for your contribution to music:)
This is my new favorite work music. I love this channel so much. The visuals are great, I love the atmosphere and watching you guys DJ. Love that it's analog too.
Cool fact: first song is on the label "Emporio Musicale", which is italian for Musical Emporium. This must be leftovers influences from the Italian occupation in Eritrea and Ehtiopia, which ended in 1947!
this is the best channel. I love chilling listening to these mixes. it makes me appreciate the many interesting and colourful flavours of music. I love it all. thanks so much to everyone involved. can you print some more tee's I wanna support! cheers
❤❤❤❤ Your love flames .. ..my love ..burning .... my heart ..pains became my food ...when I remember you ...my tears couldn't control it ❤❤❤❤ ..my heart refused to replace you ..my mind spinning when thinking of you ...I couldn't live without you
