LINCOLN CENTER, NEW YORK — Well, we here at the station are still riding on the high of WFMU’s broadcast from Damrosch Park last night, really one spectacular show all around. Hope you all caught it either in person or on the air/netwaves. Perfect weather, fantastic, grooving crowd of five or six thousand, and a stellar night with the Ex, Getatchew, Mahmoud & company. Trent and I each put some sets up on Flickr more to follow on FMU’s page later I am sure. It’s been a summer to remember in terms of live music in NYC, that’s for sure. [WFMU]

   It was one of the best (if not the best ever) Ethiopian Music concert. Many thanks for the city of NY to make this happen. Getachew Mekuria ( at age 73) is a rock star! Wonderful work!

   Always great to see the greatest of all: Mohamoud and Alemayehu. It was refreshing and a bit emotional. I was it as a life time opportunity and will always remeber.

   Thanks,
