Hi, I finally found some time to answer you back about that song from The Daktaris. I don’t know that much about the original artists of the song except that they’re called The Wallias band and that the band was formed in the 70’s by Mulatu Astatqé. I wrote on my blog that they still perform today but I’m no longer sure about that after a quick check on the net. What I did found was the original compilation from the mid 90’s on Munich Records that introduced me to this music. You can find it right here: http://bravojuju.blogspot.com/2007/09/va-ethiopian-groove-golden-seventies.html with some extra information.
I'm a Cape Town boy who has been around the world and back and still hasn't found a place that I truly want to settle. I've written for numerous publications about all sorts of elements of popular culture. I'm a recordhound constantly on the search for "the perfect beat" and have come close a few times. I have far too many pairs of shoes and not enough pairs of pants unfortunately.
If you own any of these tracks and want me to remove them or you just want to get in contact for whatever reason then e-mail me at marc.kets[at]kumo-music.com.
