Year: 1989

Condition: NM/VG+

Ethio Fusion made in Stuttgart, Germany!?! For Sure! The cultural group mixes the music of the Azmari with reggae and western pop influences.  The structure of the ethiopian melodies are pretty uncommon for ears trained on western modulations, but once you're in it you're hooked! This album unfortunately is pretty much unfindable. This is the 2nd copy I see in 14 years...
