Tilaye Gebre is one of Ethiopia’s saxophone giants, with a musical legacy that’s hard to surpass. He was at the epicenter of the music scene during one of the most turbulent periods in the country’s history. With the Dahlak Band, Tilaye managed to secure a residency at the legendary Ghion Hotel, where they honed their skills and developed their musical expression to unparalleled levels. This recording from the late 1970s is a prime example of the rare groove on the Ethiopian scene, with excursions into reggae territory. It’s a wonder to be able to enjoy a recording like this half a century later.
