Product Description This collection features many masterpieces owing to not only Mahmoud Ahmed's vocal grace, but also incredibly sophisticated arrangements. This is one of the most successful outcomes of the emulation between the great official bands of that time. For instance, the present reading of Tezeta brings to mind the cheerful funeral marching bands of New Orleans. Review This latest edition in an excellent series that chronicles Ethiopian jazz and funk showcases the mesmerizing voice of Mahmoud Ahmed (who is also the focus of volumes six and seven) ... His Amharic croon soars above pugnacious horn lines, spacey keyboards, and swirling electric guitars. --Chicago Tribune
