    Label: Philips - Ph 108

    Artist: Menelik Wossenatchew / Telela Kebede

    A/B Side: Aderetch Arada / Kelemewa

    Grade: EX (shop stock)

    2 sides cut by Haile Selassie's Imperial Bodyguard Band.

    Menelik Wossenatchew's operatic vocal prowess is clear on Adarech Arada. It's about a hip little area in Addis where active young ladies would gather and what they got up to when their mothers weren't watching..gulp!

    The b side is a great theatrical piece with backing chorus.

    A Side: Aderetch Arada

    B Side: Kelemewa

    Deep double sider from a couple of young ladies who used to sing together in an Addis Ababa bar. Mulatu heard them and said 'why don't we try something...'

    One of 2 x 45s that they cut on consecutive Philips releases.

    Some psyche sounds in there plus extended solos in the mid section of each track. Deeep!

    Grade: G+ to Vg

    Needs little intro...

    The great Tilahun Gessesse, Ethiopia’s most celebrated singer of all time, laying it down over a 6/4 groove.

    B side is Mulatu doings his thing! Emnete means ‘My thoughts.’

    Label is rough but the record better.
