Getatchew Mekurya

Thank you again Awsome Tapes for another mind blowing find. We love you down here at Shtik. The Whole album available to listen to at the site. Getatchew first came to my attention on the sublime Ethiopiques compilations. There is something about Ethiopian melodies that sends me a little crazy. As Mae West sings beautifully in her version of Shaking All Over- “quivers down my back bone”

Delicate Steve


This guy is brilliant and unique and I love his music. Buy his new album or support the chap. You would be stupid not to. His last album is brilliant too. I’d love to see him jamming with the lute player from Staff Benda Bilili (although he is pretty young in this clip), there is something about string instruments rocking out in the higher registers that gets me rather excited…
