Seleshe Damessae, Ethiopian traditional musician who plays the krar

Seleshe Damessae — Vol. 1

Oh, how I love the sound of the krar. The ancient instrument scales pentatonic heights in the attics of my mind. So simple yet so jarringly complex.

If you like this tape, buy Seleshe Damessae’s incredible record that’s been ringing in my ears for years now.

    Too tired at the end of the day to think. So what a joy it is to have something new and vital pouring into my brain.
