Trouble in Ethiopia
I am finishing up the next broadcast, which focuses on a series of CDs called Ethiopiques. I am also using a version of this project in Tunis where I will be next week with Mulatu Astatke. I can tell he is very preoccupied with what is currently going on in Ethiopia.
The news media ain't saying much either - Thank god for the bloggers. Like this guy:
Just moments ago before I sat to write this, there was machine gun fire close to where we live. When the shots ended it triggered all the neighborhoods dogs, including our neighbor’s that sounds like it’s levitating with its barking powers. Then some more dogs started barking farther and farther and farther until the barking spread all over the lowlands of Addis. What a surreal moment it was to stand in the crisp and quite night and witness the progression of canine alertness.
That's from Tsega's blog. you should check it out. He also has links to other Ethio-bloggers who are doing their best to keep us informed.
