Hardly anyone outside Ethiopia seems to know Hailu Mergia & The Walias Band "Tezeta" album exists. Within Ethiopia this tape has been impossible to find for decades.

This album is the band’s second recording, released in 1975. Sourced by Awesome Tapes From Africa , its unique and funky renditions of standards and popular songs of the day are flavorful and evocative. Hailu’s melodic organ, unashamedly front and center in every track, makes even the complex pieces accessible.
