5.0 out of 5 stars
A Very Special CD, April 12, 2000
This review is from: Ethiopiques, Vol. 5: Tigrigna Music (Audio CD)
This is the only CD I have seen totaly dedicated to Tigrigna music. The songs here are mostly from the early 70's. The first four songs are by the great singer and Krar player Tsahaytu Berakhi. These are marvelous songs and great performances. The rest of the CD is also great and shows Tigrigna music at its best. Track 11 is an attempt by Mulatu Astatke to make a Jazzy version of a Tigrigna song. To me it is interesting but not on the level of the rest of the CD. A must for all Ethiopian and world music fans.
