In the 60s there was a Swinging Addis just as there was a Swinging London. A veritable cultural revolution rather than a simple generational conflict. With music as it’s detonator and it’s common denominator. This volume aims to collect the clearest examples of soul, R’n’B and even twist. The quintessence of the most outrageously cosmopolitan styles – yet so firmly anchored in the local soul.
