Back in December of 07 I made this mix that combined Jay Acapellas from American Gangster with Amazing Ethiopian music, mostly oldschool jazz stuff, but some newer music as well.
.
I put it together in about a week and a half cause there were so many people doing mixes at the time and I didn't wanna get lost in the fold.
It actually turned out waaay better than I initially invisioned and people seemed to like it a whole lot. But I guess I did do a pretty terrible job of marketing it, which is sad :( Oh well - On to the next one!
.
In the meantime, it hasn't really lost its relevance so I can hopefully still get people to download it and listen!
.
What I love about it is the clash of cultures that it represents. I think a lot of us out here need this sort of thing because we're already so multicultural and it's dope to see and hear things that reflect who we are.
.
I LOVE the samples I used...a lot of it was Ethiopian joints from the 60s and 70s, amazing stuff I shamefully didn't know jack about growing up--Gonna put a mix of them up for download one of these days.
.
Anyway, lemme stop this lecture and get you guys to listen to the two tracks below.

These are two of my favorite tracks that most people probabaly haven't heard/ listened to properly.

Gonna put the whole thing up soon for stream and download but untill then, it is available to download at Elmo's blog: Elmosince87.com
