“Mariama”, a programme with African music. Ethiopop.
Thirty-five years ago Ethiopian jazz and pop music died a brutal death. In 1974 a strict military regime was brought into power after a coup. The new leaders forbade the nightlife and with that every source of popular music. Swinging Addis, like the Ethiopian capital was called at the time, instantly disappeared. But the track that we started this Mariama with is called Ye Salame and dates from…2007! The Ethio pop is back, and jazz also, as we notice in this Mariama…
