Hey everyone...

The song goes like :

"my father was born in ethiopia, land of the lion dread...
my mother was born in ethiopia, land where the sun is red..."

I know In Crowd sings it but I have the feeling i heard another band singing this.

Thanks !

Carol Cole sings "Ethiopia" (Black Art 7")
though I doubt that's the song you're after

"My mother was born in Ethiopia,
my father was born in Ethiopia.
Land of the food and water,
land of the black man's culture".

[Vinnie]

from what i remmeber its both the same tune under a diiferent artist name

the incrowd came on a cactus 7" at the time if my memory serves me well

the black art is a very recent repress and a crappy one even on 33rpm and with another tune on the flip tststs

I finally found my answer : the Cimarons sing it live :

This recording seems to come before the in crowd album, though...
