Big grins here whilst listening to that.

I've been rediscovering the Ethiopiques series and lots of Mahmoud Ahmed. I'm not sure it fits the label Afrobeat but it is magic.

Had a chat with the guy when he played at QUESTION MARK (stoke newington).
He's been travelling and collecting tapes, through the whole of Africa....
1st time I saw a guy actually DJing a full set only with tapes. Imagine the size of his suitcase!. :)
