Paul Weller Mother Ethiopia (Warner)US: 11 Aug 2017UK: 11 Aug 2017 Amazon iTunesThe Ethiopiques series on the Buda Musique imprint is a series that has shined a well-deserved spotlight on the Ethiopian music of the ‘60s and ‘70s, since the first release in 1997. These compilations are very close to Paul Weller’s heart and have now inspired him to release this three-track EP. Wholly instrumental, the song that the EP is based on, “Mother Ethiopia”, finds Weller and Stone Foundation experimenting with different sounds and locking into the groove. “Mother Ethiopia” is a delightful homage to the Ethiopian music that Weller holds dear. Mother Ethiopia Rating:Paul is an English teacher and freelance writer and editor from Exeter, England.
