Album Reviews

Review: 

Emptiness, melancholy, nostalgia; doom and gloom, morbid musing, heartache or homesickness: such is the stock in trade of the the misery and mornfull memories expressed by the song Tezeta, Ethiopian majestic hymn to the blues. Etymologicaly, the world itself means memory, nostalgia. The tenth volume of Ethiopiques proposes various versions from this song which has becommed a musical form. Other ballads and Ethiopian blues are also presented. Released in 2001.
