Various Artists - Ethiopian Modern Instrumentals Hits ሙዚቃ ሕይወቴ (1972)

Great for anything: travels, dinners, acknowledging new musical traditions based on flexions of the occidental canon inspirated by Ethiopia's traditional music by native Ethiops, etc... Yes, I inverted B and A sides, ty stefankempkes3769 and skatethasimpsons for pointing it out.
B
Bahta Gebre Hiwot - Ewnet Yet Lagegnesh 00:00
Mulatu Astatke - Yegele Tezeta 02:45
Bahta Gebre Hiwot - Bemgnot Alnorm 06:01
Mulatu Astatke - Ykermo Saw 08:37
Tesfa Mariam Kidane - Heiwote 12:53
A
Mulatu Astatke - Munaye Bahta 18:12
Mulatu Astatke - Meche Dereshe 23:16
Tesfa Mariam Kidane - Yetesfa Tezeta 27:13
Mulatu Astatke - Kasalefkut Hulu 29:52
Mulatu Astatke - Tezeta 32:36
I do not own this music. I do not monetize this. I will remove this if authorship is enforced. People must have the option to listen this because it is good or have historical value. Ty for your attention and a nice day for you too.

[@stefankempkes3769]

Thanks for this playlist. Quick note, Mulatu Astatke - Tezeta 12:53 and Tesfa Mariam Kidane - Heiwote 32:36 are the wrong way around :)

Ty for the rectification. Gonna pin this.

@@skatethasimpsons Which version and recording company? I didnt found any release of this which dont start with Munaye and ends with Heiwote. www.discogs.com/release/2055359-Various-Ethiopian-Modern-Instrumentals-Hits-%E1%88%99%E1%8B%9A%E1%89%83-%E1%88%95%E1%8B%AD%E1%8B%88%E1%89%B4

@@sculpture151 Yes, it starts with Munaye and ends with Heiwote. But in this upload the first track is 'Bahta Gebre Hiwot - Ewnet Yet Lagegnesh' (actually the first track on the B-Side), which is mistakenly called 'Munaye'. Last track here is Tezeta (actually the last track on the A-Side), mistakenly called Heiwote. Check the bandcamp site of this release for confirmation. Thx for the upload btw, this one is essential

[@bobfrog4836]

The day I saw Broken Flowers I arrived home to the art gallery I was living in to find the band Dengue Fever (also on the Broken Flowers soundtrack) doing a sound rehearsal for a gig later that evening. They had changed their sound from the Ethiopian jazz that was in the soundtrack to Cambodian pop. We hosted a lot of shows of questionable talent but Dengue Fever was fantastic.
