Notes
“Reissue of a 1978 self released LP by one of the greatest Ethiopian vocalists of all time. This material has not been reissued in any form since its original release digitally or analog! Recorded at the end of the ‘golden age’ of Ethiopian urban music, Mahmoud is in top form belting out transcendent intense vocals over the Ibex Bands’ hypnotic soulful horns, organs, guitars, bass & percussion. As good as it gets & as close to universally perfect music as ever has been made.” (Little Axe/ Mississippi)
That write-up says it all. This LP is presently the boss of me. 320 vinyl rip by yours truly. Do enjoy.

You turned me on to mississippi records way back and since then I have bought a lot of their goodies…

Two of these tracks are on the Ethiopiques 7 CD, but confusingly, are titled differently…
Saying that, great album!
