Music has always been integral to what we do, wether playing in the background at our supper clubs or centre stage at the listening sessions we used to play at the amazing audiophile Music Room at Potato Head (Hong Kong), it’s a big part of Ethiopian culture and the music is as unique and beautiful as the food.
It’s fair to say we’ve eaten well and listened to a lot of music over the last year!… it’s kept our spirits high in these uncertain times.
So a couple of months ago, when things were still feeling decidedly ‘locked-down’ (lockdown haircuts and all) we thought it would be a nice idea to select our favourite tracks from each LP featured in our shop and put it down as a mix, live, oh and on video too! - This is our ‘record shop showcase’, hope you enjoy.
Excuse the slightly wobbly table ☺️.
