“Recently somebody shared it online and it was just like kind of beautiful early organ sounds, like African-influenced, Ethiopian. I actually was looking for this, it's on Awesome Tapes from Africa.”

“There's a guy called Hailu Mergia who's Ethiopian, who is, I guess, more famous for his kind of afro soul funk kind of stuff. This is him kind of mucking around with some Moogs and some synths and some early drum machines in the early 80s but really interesting.”
