Dropping in to Dada Beijing and Shanghai this weekend is Ernesto Chahoud, a record collector from Beirut who deals
in rare funk and soul albums with a special focus on Ethiopian funk
and jazz from the 60s-70s.
He's passing through town on Friday in Beijing and Saturday in Shanghai for the release party of his record, TAITU - Soul-fuelled Stompers from 1960s - 1970s Ethiopia. The album features his most essential finds from a decade-long fascination with dance music from 1970s Addis Ababa.
Check out the album here:
Performing with Chahoud at both Dada shows is JJ Whitefield of Poets of
Rhythm, who'll play a set spanning Afro-beat, Middle Eastern psych and garage rock.
