The solo instrumental album of Ethio-jazz composer Dawit Yifru offers an exceptional occasion to rediscover one of the most important eras in Ethiopia’s music history. This album features songs that were restored and remastered from cassettes from the 1970s and reflects the dynamic musical crossroads that were present at the time. However, it is the inclusion of the violin, which was uncommon, that presents Dawit Yifru as a visionary composer amongst his contemporaries.
