Ethiopian guitar out of an Oak Park, Illinois record label. It’s Esy Tadesse. Much respect that the label didn’t just default to geolocating itself in the nearest mega metropolis. In other words, Chicago! Oak Park, represent. Our highlighted track “Buna” is pure instrumental (with a few echoes of background vocals), spinning a hazy and hypnotic pattern with the six-stringer and mellow percussion. Listen for the electric guitar to go on a walk about midsong. Off Ahadu. Available via FPE Records.
