[BIBBIBBIBBIB]

Im so glad that Nas and Damian Marley introduced me to this band!

[subg88]

Sounds like the love child of Fela Kuti and John Zorn.

[AikateriniPap]

I have heard this song 10 times in a row....it is really smooth...we feel like being in a beach, but surely not alone!!!

[PretentiousProducts]

Very cool!

[thegliphic]

Like being in a Moroccan harem smoking a hookah  thinking about aweird dream i had that night before....

[NedsMissingTeeth]

We need more smoke in the room.

[TheEyeOfJustice]

Seeing him play in london a couple of years ago was probably the greatest musical experience of my life.

The whole album is perfection.

The recent collaboration with the Heliocentrics is pretty amazing as well.

[tropicalpimp]

anyone know if he plays in NYC this year? or if this guys even alive?

[satenaw999]

Hello there, I don't know if he is going to play in NYC, but I know that he lives in Addis ababa. Last year when I was in Ethiopia I have seen him, If you want to know about him I have a friend who is very close to him.

[tyclan]

@tropicalpimp

yes he is alive but i think he in Addis ababa ethiopia about 4month ago hope this helps.

[fietsvriend]

If my muscles were as flexible as this man his music,oh boy....

[TommyandHarry]

five out of five!

[musicminded64]

Great. Very special.

[mufongo]

is he using a marimba or vibraphone?

also does anyone know what type?

[paulkokst]

yes

[Seicoco]

I guess it's a vibraphone. On the live videos, he is playing that instrument. Marimba is made of wood and cannot sound like this.

[SetTheStageForMe]

these are mos def some vibes. if he played it on marimba it would probably also sound dope

[shroomadelic]

vibraphone, thats why it vibrates so much

[lactatingbillhonkey]

yeaaasshhh

[mufongo]

i NEED this on vinyl

[tropicalpimp]

oh man,i bet it sounds super grungy n crispy,and raspy on vinyl...which of course, would add to its depth. sick track.

[nubient]

@mufongo hmm when you find out how much this album goes for, you might change your mind ...

[creamywhip]

[Capillus]

Mulatu's first american album. Dope stuff!! You chose the best track, well done!!! We do a version of this with my band, it's so cool to play, it takes you to a trance level.

[smgebru]

[musinho18]

This is a great track, funkyyyyy

[wwwdotluke]

i really should check out more ethiopian jazz/funk music, it often sounds cool as hell.

[Bellcity]

I love this album. So many strong cuts on this one and this happens to be on of my favorites.
