Various - HasabeAbsolutely killer compilation of Ethiopian R&B from the golden age of Ethiopian music. Classic performances by Lemma Demissew, Tlahoun Gessesse, Sefu Yohannes, Bahta Gebre Heywet, Teshome Meteku, Mahmoud Ahmed & Alemeyahu Eshete. All songs never reissued on vinyl before. A nonstop party record that we can recommend without any reservations. The 3rd LP in our continuing series of releases culled from the monumental Ethiopiques series.
