EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Vinyl plus 38pg magazine with interview, history & lots of historic & recent live photos! Recorded April 3-4, 2006 at Jottem, Wormerveer, Netherlands. Getatchew Mekuria is the most revered veteran of Ethiopian saxophone. He is the inventor of Shellele, a musical style originating from a heroic war-chant, translated to saxophone. The Ex fell in love with Ethopia and it's music while touring there. When Getatchew went to the Netherlands he brought 10 solo saxophone versions of Ethiopian tunes with him. Here Getatchew's melodies & solos mesh with The Ex's rhythms, noise & vocals, supported by a guest horn section, like they we made for each other!
