If you are interested in ethipioian music you should visit restaurant Ethio Star, right next to the movie theatre called Olympia on Birger Jarlsgatan. I don't know if the somali have any clubs or cd shops (I imagine they do). <BR/><BR/>One interesting thing about ethiopian music is that people dance with their hands and with their shoulders (like in asia) and not by shaking their hips and moving their torso back and forth (as they in west Africa and the african diaspora). This would further suggest that there is a connection to indian and asian musicAnton Hultberg Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01013809633761667335noreply@blogger.com
