Teodros Makonnen | Teodros Makonnen With His Organ
MUZLP005
Presale - Expected Soon
Tracklist:
Ethio jazz minimal electronics… 2LP of past futurism.
Teodros Makonnen With His Organ is a cornerstone of the early digital sounds of Ethiopian music, originally released on cassette only, and has remained more or less unknown outside of Ethiopia until now. It is a pioneering home recording made in Ethiopia, recorded directly to tape in a single take on a Yamaha double-deck keyboard at the residence of a Saudi Arabian diplomat in Addis Ababa, recasting traditional songs in a wholly electronic style of atmospheric drum machines and hypnotic synth organs, opening new paths for musical dreaming.
Even to this day, the story of Teodros Makonnen's legacy has never been properly told. As a keyboardist, producer, arranger, and sound designer, he helped define the digital sound of Ethiopian music in the 1980s and beyond, collaborating with iconic artists such as Mulatu Astatke, Aster Aweke, and Mahmoud Ahmed, among many others.
