This seminal 1972 Ethiopian compilation showcases instrumental masterpieces from Tesfa-Maryam Kidane, Bahta Gebre-Heywet and Mulatu Astatke, including the iconic Yegele Tezeta. It captures the golden era of Ethiopia's rich musical heritage in all its hypnotic, horn-laced and soulful Cham as Mulatu's tracks, celebrated alongside legends like Fela Kuti and William Onyeabor, highlight the country's distinctive sound as shaped by centuries of cultural history and largely impervious to outside influences. Originally released in Ethiopia, this compilation reflects the nation's musical identity and unique Ethio-jazz elegance, all realised with timeless instrumental craftsmanship.
