Métronomique trace le portrait d'Addis Abeba au tournant des années 70, capitale économique et artistique d'une Ethiopie alors emblématique d'une Afrique indépendante et non-alignée. Stars incontestées de ce "Swinging Addis" Mahmoud Ahmed, Alèmayèhu Eshèté ou Girma Bèyènè dont la renommée doit beaucoup à Francis Falceto, fondateur en 1996 de la collection de CDs « Ethiopiques» éditée par Buda Musique.

Notre histoire débute en 1969 quand un jeune homme de 24 ans, Amha Eshèté, crée sa propre maison de disques, au nez et à la barbe des autorités. Elle se termine 6 ans plus tard quand un lieutenant-colonel cruel et impitoyable s’empare du pouvoir.  Addis Abeba plonge alors dans la nuit, et pour longtemps.  

Dans cette histoire, on croisera un Empereur en fin de course, un chef d’orchestre arménien rescapé du génocide, l’Orchestre de la Police programmé dans les nights-clubs, une nonne au piano, et même un cireur de chaussures qui imite Elvis Presley !

The Slow Death of Civilian Government in Ethiopia
