Hailu Mergia & Dahlak Band - Anchin Kfu Ayinkash

[@eoeoeos]

This song feels like a warm hug from your favorite person in the world

[@llliiimmmeee]

I got told by a Tumblr post "If you're a white person reading this, don't be afraid to mingle with other cultures. Go and listen to Hailu Mergia." I am not disappointed.

[@1gnore_me.]

I love how you can ALMOST hear lyrics, or at least the intention behind them. as if an intangible ghost is singing, desperately trying to be heard. beautiful

[@tesfayedesalegn5340]

There are actually original songs to most and Hailu's jazzed up music just takes it to a new level. This one,"Anchin kfu ainkash" is sang by Tilahun Gessese.

[@Weewootruck]

You said intangible like if ghost are tangible 😅

[@stefonpawlowski9666]

I agree so much. You CAN hear it through his intention. Beautiful.

[@RufioTheThird]

My friend who was born in the south that introduced me to this masterpiece told me "none of it has words because in Nigeria the government would only let you have music that had lyrics talking about how good the government was", so they had to communicate their feelings through instruments. I think it's absolutely fascinating and hopefully what she claimed does hold water and had added an extra layer to this song's brilliance in your eyes

[@1gnore_me.]

@@RufioTheThird wow that's amazing!

This track is superb. Sad? Longing? Nostalgic? Uplifting? Entirely up to personal interpretation or circumstance. Versatile as all get-out.

Remember hearing this song in my front yard while my brother worked on his truck, I just had my first baby and he drove out to meet him. While I was inside rocking the little guy to sleep I heard this tune outside and just had to go out into the summery green yard and ask him what it was! Now my kid is almost three and we've played this album his whole life and it just never gets old ❤

[@Walter7911]

This song is beautiful. Picture this. You have been through one hell of a time. The stormy present brought you so much grief and strife. The unknown clouded your thoughts and left you fighting for your life. At the worst of it, you thought it would be a neverending cycle of torment, but then all of a sudden. The rain stopps, the sky clears, and there is peace. The sun slowly rises, as if it's a moment of serendipity. The storm has passed and you are left with this song, staring at the beautiful sunrise to remind you that everything is going to be ok. That is what this song makes me thing of. Peace

[@iintroverse]

Sad how a lot of great music can get lost in time. Great song

[@ProSkateNate90]

That is why i love sampling. Gives a second breath of life to a forgotten melody that was great

[@thecodemongoose]

We all get lost in time bro. All of us. That's the beauty of it.

[@lucasamtab]

this music has the power to factory reset me (I grew up in Ethiopia but I'm not fully Ethiopian). I wasn't listen to it at that time, but it's just rooted in me. Now i can appreciate how beautiful it is

[@oodgoo]

This song and album’s ability to elicit such a strong emotional response is truly amazing. No matter your emotion, the songs in this album are perfect vessels to associate emotions, or any other sensation/places to. Hailu Mergia’s has a very unique talent unlike any other!
