Gessesse, Tlahoun
Ethiopian Urban Modern Music Vol.4
A set of vocal recordings by Tlahoun Gessesse -- one of the most important singers during the golden age of Ethiopian
Music -- caught here on a set of sides that sadly saw that period coming to an end. The tracks on the set are mostly
from the early 70s, a time that saw great political changes in Ethiopia -- and tremendous censorship and restrictions on
cultural production. Gessesse's vocals during this time are perhaps even more melancholy and heartfelt than before, and
he's working here on a number of sides with the legendary Mulatu -- with arrangements that have a angular, almost
modernist edge
