Why do we like this?

Well, well, well, if it isn't East African music again! Recently, we have met all too often. I hear it on the streets, I hear it on the internet, I hear it in my dreams, I hear it on your couch and when I'm not on your couch. Why am I on your couch?

The first paragraph makes East African music seem like I think it's a bad thing. I love it. It is music that warms my soul. It is music that warms your couch. It is music that warms my soul that warms your couch.

N.B. If you're reading this, I'm sorry. Hopefully you were listening as well as as reading, so you didn't just totally waste your time x

By Dylan Heneck on Aug 2, 2016 | Today was the first time I thought to actually look up who Mikael Seifu is, because let's be honest, his music deserves more than just my usual, sarcastic write-up. Interestingly enough, Addis Ababa is where he hails from, and in case you don't know ... read more →

By Dylan Heneck on Jan 7, 2020 | Time remains constant. Yet music creation expands at a rate faster than we are able to increase our median life expectancy. That means we'll never be able to get through all the music that we want to.If there's one... read more →
