Glastonbury 2008 and Paris 2006

The Ethiopiques gig (Either/Orchestra with Mahmoud Ahmed, Mulatu Astatke, Alemahyu Eshete, and Getachew Merkurya) was broadcast on BBC television.  But you already know that.  Well, here are a couple of examples of the show (starring some nice shots of the AlterEGO): 

E/O and Mulatu Astatke, “Munaye” – Mulatu has a new CD coming out, featuring the E/O.  Some fancy tuning at 5:12.

E/O and Mahmoud Ahmed, “Bemen Sebab Letlash”

E/O and Mahmoud Ahmed, “Atawarulegn Lela” – I love this one!

E/O and Mahmoud Ahmed, “Ashkaru”

When we recorded the “EthioGroove” DVD in Paris (April, 2006), we did a second gig at a local club.  I think this footage comes from that gig:

Man, those were great gigs.
