Album Reviews

Review: 

Until the fall of Haile Sellassie, all Ethiopian star vocalists came from institutions. After starting out with Agher Feqer Mahber, Tlahoun Gèssèssè spent his entire career with the imperial Body Guard Band the same for Bzunesh Bèqèlè, the "first lady" of Ethiopian song or for Mahmoud Ahmed, Tèfèra Kassa, Essatu Tessemma and many others. This third release of th Ethiopiques series spots the essential role of these academic band in the Ethiopian music emancipation. Released in 1998.
