Ethiopiques Volume 17 – Tlahoun GessesseVarious
CD (Item 78660) Buda Musique (France), Mid 70s — Condition: New Copy
A stunning 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 years 1974 and 1975, 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. Despite the language barriers that keep us from understanding what Gessesse's singing about, there's an incredibly evocative quality to the work that transcends time and place – and which really opens up thanks to the thoughtful production and great notes of the Ethiopiques series! © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
