A compilation released in 1972 by the legendary label AMHA RECORDS, home to essential Ethiopian musicians such as MULATU ASTATKE, MAHMOUD AHMED, ALEMAYEHU ESHETE and TILAHUN GESSESSE. Featuring credits for ALEMAYEHU ESHETE and MULATU ASTATKE, this is a string of gems blending Ethio-jazz — shaped by Western jazz and R&B yet driven by that superhuman African rhythmic sense — with tracks steeped in traditional folk colors. Timeless and wonderful. Recommended. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
