Mulatu Astatke appears twice, including 'Yegelle Tezeta', while Mahmoud Ahmed bookends both discs; Getatchew Mekurya, Alemayehu Eshete, Tlahoun Gessesse, Girma Beyene with Akale Wube are all further names Ethiopiques devotees will clock immediately.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- plug-seven-hike-2026-10-29:end --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eMedia: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Mint (M)\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eA1.
