Funky hip-hop hippie Oh No carves up ‘60s and ‘70s records from Ethiopia on this 36-track instrumental beat tape, which plays like a spiritual voyage through the East African country. By cutting up his sounds into choppy boom-bap vignettes, the California producer explores Ethiopia’s rich history of soul, jazz, and R&B with the snazzy wah-wah guitar licks of “The Funk,” the brash brass of “Butta,” and the more tweaked-out electronic flavors of “Midnight Missions.”
