"Highland Man" album

 

#Ethiopia "After Bill Lazwell and Herbie Han Cook's "Good Fala" album (1993), the best album in the same genre (World Music Category) is the "Highland Man" album without exclamation points."

The 18th century Russian composer Mikhail Glinka had this to say about his philosophy for his musical works in one of his most memorable quotes.

 

"I should like to unite in legitimate bonds the Russian popular song with the good old Western fugue."

 

The producer of the "Ye Dega Man" album, Euel Glinka, like Glinka, found a beautiful musical "chemistry" by weaving Ethiopian music and melodic styles, with African and jazz styles. His musical compositions are not merely emotional. Rather, they are infatuated with trusting the culture of the community in which the musical touch was created. I have listened to the essence of making music not only with emotion, but with research and intellect.

 

"Ye Dega Man" album, as a melody, carries the Ethiopian music samples that we have only heard in a few modern compositions, in abundance and with a depth that makes me "experimental". For example, take the melody made by Bati Lydian Scan. The tunes that reached the limit of two and two half octaves tested the ability of the singer Maryam.

 

I'd rather not say anything about the album's lyrics. It is an album of poems that can be referred to as "Historical Allusion"; It's better if I just pass. I'd better leave it at this point, because literary people can expect a lot of analysis.

 

The album's strengths include many African musical instruments, including our country's folk instruments; Some of them are as they are, and some of them are done by taking their playing philosophy. It is a commendable and exemplary effort that many musicians aspire to, but are unable to implement. What makes us not hesitate to put the music in the World Music Category, which is not possible for many (looking for it), is a point that is successful in the album.

 

I noticed the success of this "Highland Man" album, where musicians from West African countries, find French, Spanish or Portuguese producers (in other words, "practice their colonists") and work with high investment.

 

After Bill Lazwell and Herbie Han Cook's album "Good Fala" (1993), the best album in the same genre (World Music Category) is "Dega Man" album.
