Tezeta (CD)
Hailu Mergia And The Walias
Amoeba Review
Legends in their native Ethiopia, The Walias were one of the most pioneering bands of the ‘70s and beyond. Powered by Hailu Mergia’s deft organ stylings and anchored in jazz, lounge, funk, and traditional styles, Tezeta is naturally, effortlessly cool. Unfortunately, it has been a tough release to track down for nearly three decades. Fortunately, that frustration ends now. Sourced by Awesome Tapes from Africa and remastered by Jessica Thompson, Tezeta is evocative, immersive, and totally excellent.
