�Assiyo Bellema� � Mulatu goes afro-latin, plus steel drums courtesy of Frank Holder. Assiyo Bellema was recorded during Mulatu�s time in London, during which he met Frank, along with many others including Tubby Hayes and Joe Harriott.

�Hasabe� was originally released on Amha in 1969. Soaring Ethiopian vocals and horns create a classic Ethiopian sound. Teshome Meteku was leader of Soul Ekos Band - they lived together! - and were very active in Addis in the 1960�s.
