Peel played a track from the artist on his 30 November 1991 show and mentioned that in the 80's he was playing Mahmoud's music, when his popularity was risen with the Belgian label Crammed Discs releasing the collection Ere Mela Mela, which was drawn from two LPs Mahmoud had recorded in Addis Ababa with the Ibex Band a decade earlier.
