Here is quick graphic I designed based off of a post card that I found in a little African “Curiosity” Shop on Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles. I think the place is called Abyssinia. It’s owned by two lovely Ethiopian women.

The card was printed in the 1920s. With all of the problems in Southern Sudan today, I thought it was interesting that at one point in time, Europeans actually actively promoted travel to the Sudan.

In any event, I love anything to do with the Nile, it’s people, it’s cattle, it’s cultures, and it’s music.

I am attaching some way out psychedelic roots music recorded around the same time this photography was taken. The energy is amazing, especially when you turn it up to 10 and feel the vibes full blast.
