Ethno_Neo_(PoMo) Part II

From Japan to Ethiopia - there are times when the two distinct cultures almost stand side by side in their singing styles. I'm talking about a similarity between the ending section of Sugagaki Kuzushi from Part I (posted January 19) and the quivering vocals of Mar Tèb Yelal Kafesh from Swinging Addis, featured in Volume 8 of the Éthiopique series, out on Buda Musique.

Need more convincing? How about Hasab...

Unforunately my Amhric just isn't good enough to translate for you the lyrics - however as you conduct a more personal investigation, listen to Tchero Adari Nègn and Yebèqagnal.
