1556 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Ethiopia
From: I'm With You, Year: 2011
Genre: Alternative Rock/Funk
Genre: Alternative Rock/Funk
I feel like making a Funky Friday pick today. This is one of my favourite songs off of RHCP's most recent release: I'm With You; it's one of the more dynamic tracks on the album. Apparently the band got some of their influence for this track from an Ethiopian band called Africa Express; from what I understand they hung out and jammed quite a bit.
I love how they employed odd time signatures in this song and yet to the untrained ear you really don't notice it; that, in my opinion, is the mark of an excellent band when they are able to do that.
Hear Ethiopia on YouTube.
