ALEMAYEHU ESHETE - BECHAYANE TEGODAHU / TEREDECHEWALEHU:
"Bechayane Tegodahu" scorching Ethio funk! Flipside "Teredechewalehu" is on a more mellow and folkloristic tip but with a deep sound and very nice too. Vinyl in great shape, glossy with just a few surface lines, plays well but low pressing so mild pressing related noise can be heard. Ethiopian original, this is the Lebanon-made version without pic sleeve.
