░░ Sons of Ethiopia is a fascinating piece of the Ethiopian musical puzzle.
░░ Emerging from the community of Ethiopian exiles who had been scattered to
░░ the winds by the brutality of the Derg û the military dictatorship that
░░ had deposed Haile Selassie û the album was the sound of a new generation.
░░ The members of Admas were not musicians from the so-called ægolden ageÆ:
░░ they were children of the terror and propaganda of the Derg time û an era
░░ of state-sponsored neighbourhood bands and a propaganda-tinged
░░ traditional music scene, where the weekends were sound-tracked by the
░░ remaining hotel groups of a bygone Imperial world.
░░
░░ An instrumental album, rich with global influences, Sons of Ethiopia is
░░ one of the few Ethiopian recordings to have been produced outside
░░ Ethiopia in the early 1980s. As such, it is a key document of the
░░ Washington DC exile scene. The core members of Admas û Tewodros æTeddyÆ
░░ Aklilu, Henock Temesgen, and Abegasu Shiota û had previously played in a
░░ group called Gasha, one of the few Ethiopian bands working regularly in
░░ DC during the early 1980s. Admas was born from Gasha, as an outlet for
░░ their more experimental instincts. Though they played as a backing group
░░ for singers (including Aster Aweke), the music on Sons of Ethiopia was
░░ never performed live.
░░
░░ Exiled in DC, far from the stifling propaganda and state terror of
░░ Derg-ruled Ethiopia, Admas took Ethiopian popular music into wholly new
░░ territory. Sons of Ethiopia is infused with broader musical influences
░░ than any other Ethiopian recording of the time. Having established a
░░ residency at the Red Sea restaurant in the early 1980s, the Admas players
░░ were steeped in the polyglot musical culture of the American capital. The
░░ diverse sonic influences of the city filter into the music, making the
░░ album a radically modern work of Ethiopian fusion. Mulatu, Girma Beyene
░░ and their peers in 1960s Addis Ababa had created an Ethiopian pop sound
░░ by using rhythms from Latin music, soul and jazz. Admas threw their net
░░ wider still, adding highlife, electro, go-go, samba, and roots reggae to
░░ the mix.
░░
░░ Sons of Ethiopia is the only recording of its time to capture young
░░ Ethiopian musicians in the US, cutting loose on their own thing. It is
░░ the fresh sound of youth, freedom and imagination, which the band made
░░ for themselves and by themselves, owning every part of the process. But
░░ it is also a music of exile, made by players who performed week in week
░░ out for crowds of their fellow Ethiopians, many of whom had lost family
░░ and friends to the Derg, and had often fled to the US in fear for their
░░ lives. Sons of Ethiopia channels this loss, longing and hope, and it is
░░ imbued with the melancholy and nostalgia so typical of Ethiopian song. A
░░ joyful work of synthesis and experiment it may be, but its roots run
░░ deep.
