Awesome Tapes From Africa readies new release from Hailu Mergia

Post Author:

In recent great news from the world of reissues and remasters, the man behind Awesome Tapes From Africa has announced his next release, Hailu Mergia & His Classical Instrument, a steady contribution from a 1985 Ethiopian one-man-band. The track that is available to stream is “Shilela” and it's heavy on accordion-and-synth stylings and grooves, as the tracks are all reimagined editions of Ethiopian traditional songs. It'll put you in that blissful morning mindset with ease.

The release has been remastered and spruced up and will available for purchase on June 25 here, where you can get it on LP/CD/MP3/C60.
