Nacho Patrol - Futuristic Ababa


"Nacho Patrol's FUTURISTIC ABABA LP released on Menelik records (Addis Ababa, 1978/1979). 
Ultra super-rare Ehtiopian jazzfunk LP with Raw vocoders, dirty vox organs, strutting wahwah guitars and hypnotic rhythms. Mnumbi Massaka was apparently the man behind Nacho Patrol. Due to the dictatorship that came to power in the late 70s he was forced to move to italy where he continued to work in the music business and did the soundtrack for the movie Maze of Violence. Just before moving he produced the album FUTURISTIC ABABA in 1978. It didn't take long before the dictatorship forbid this kind of music to be played or sold in music shops."
But well, its actually Legowelt. Pretty Amazing.
