Album Reviews

Review: 

The main body of Ethiopian records was produced in less than one decade: All in all, just under 500 45s and around 30 Lp albums. Ahma Eshèté, creator of the Amha Records label , was the driving force behind this brief creative burst and one of the main founders of movement which swept the Ethiopian scene during the end of the rule of the Emperor Haile Sellassie. In six years (1969-1975), Ahma issued 103 two tittle 45s and a dozen Lps. The aim of the first volume of the Ethiopiques "Series", directed by Françis Falceto, is to highlight these golden years of modern Ethiopian music. Release in 1998.
