Mahmoud Ahmed
Live in Paris (Long Distance)

The king of Ethipopian roots pop, captured live in 1994.

"Whether growling like a bluesman, wailing like a muezzin, crooning intimately or cutting loose with total abandon, he works his admittedly less-than-perfect voice with serpentine precision through songs that stomp, swing, jump and groove. His raw but solid band (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard and dual saxes) can rock cool and sinister or with fevered intricacy, always providing the tart, coiled intensity that Ahmed's singing (exemplified here by the likes of his popular "Mela Mela") rides so well..." - Tom Orr, RootsWorld

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
