Packed with hits from the ‘golden age’ of Ethiopian music, this is a delightfully authentic reissue of the now incredibly rare 1972 original complication from Amha Records.

Back in the day, after releasing around fifty 45 rpm singles and his first album (Ethiopian Modern Instrumental Hits) Amha Esthèté set about compiling his best 45s on a series of now legendary albums and this is the first. Featuring such legends as Mulatu Astatke, Alemayehu Eshete, Girma Beyene and Muluken Melesse.

Big tunes for us are Gara ser new betesh by Teshome Meteku and Ashasha Beyew by Abebe Tessema and of course the all time classic Yekermo Sew by Mulatu Astake - Essential.
