Album artwork for Ethiopian Hit Parade Vol.2 by Various Artists

At last, the second volume of the long-awaited Ethiopian Hit Parade is widely available once again after the acclaimed first volume reissue! Features tracks by Getachew Kassa, Mulatu Astatqe, Teshome Mitiku, Alemayehu Eshete, Muluken Melesse and others. An item of Ethiopian music history containing some of the greatest Ethiopian Hits from 1972 to 1975 on 180g vinyl. After releasing about fifty singles and his first LP (Ethiopian Modern Instrumental Hits AELP 10), the late and hugely influential Ethiopian producer Amha Eshèté, who passed away this year, undertook in 1972 to collect his best productions released on singles in a series of albums that have become mythical (and unobtainable in original). The first four volumes of Ethiopian Hit Parade were released in September and October 1972, and the fifth in January 1973. This is a reissue of Volume 2.

Tezeta (Slow Version & Fast Version) - Getachew Kassa
