Paradise Bangkok, in collaboration with Sheba Sound, continues its exploration in to the connecting points between East African, Arabic and South East Asian Music, First Begun On Their Two 'Eastern Connection' compilations. The recording process, that took over 6 years, was also filmed and now forms the basis of the documentary 'Roaring Abyss' which is being showcased at Womex this month. Album mixed by UK reggae and sound system legend, Nick Manasseh. 'Out of Addis' presents a selection of contemporary recordings from Ethiopia. The Horn of Africa nation is most often associated with the famous Ethio-Funk sounds produced during the latter years of the Imperial era, which lasted until 1974. But in this defiant culture - Ethiopia was the only African state never to be colonised by Western powers - the golden age for music never ended, despite decades of war and social upheaval. The thread binding the album together is the krar, a string instrument like a cross between a guitar and a harp. In live performances the krar is played repetitively, locking down the rhythm, allowing for songs to build along with the festivities. This album showcases northern-based rhythms such as the Tigray, Amhara and Gurage beat. The song 'Mal Ameni' distinguishes itself by coming from the Oromo people, who are the largest ethnic group based further south, who also have their own specific rhythm. This music touches the tip of the iceberg of what is happening right now in Ethiopia. There are so many more unique, intoxicating sounds to be shared, testifying to the diversity that lives on. After these recordings were finished, the mixing and mastering was done in the U.K. This added weight and depth to the originals, giving organic sounds a modern twist so they can be played at dance-floors and bars.
