The notion of missing these songs (in vol 22) in the previous ethiopiques volumes used to bug me a lot. I really am short of words to express myself. I am really pleased to hear the release of Almayehu's more songs. One of these days I was humming "Hode fera" and "Yikir Ayinessa" (not personal, but I love them) As a big fan of Alye, now I am close to complete collections of his songs even if there are some left. AND no more regret of my old records and tapes I left back at home. Wetader Negne is still fresh in my head as a childhood memory singing it whith friends at elementary school. BIG thanks goes to EJ for every thing. Elil Elil Eliillliiillliillll!!!

Finally, I ended up a musician . I’m honored to have the privilege of working with Alemayehu. If you could, please advice Francis to work on some of Alemayehu’s songs that did not make it to becoming the publics favorite (Inkoy nat ye abaye dar, altegebkum gena, lemin naw fikriyae kenae yemitriqi) etc. Like I've said it before, Girma is to Ethiopian music as Quincy Jonnes is to American. They both have golden touches. I'm wondering if we are ever going to see Girma back into music again.

Your best wishes and encouragments always leaves me with wanting to do more. Yonas: sorry you have to purchase it twice ;) as for Ethiopiques 23: Orchestra Ethiopia--yes I have it and I'll do a review of it very soon. Dinich: lol @ lehodam... As for your question about the sound quality, from my understanding I think they lifted the songs from the original pressed LP's and then remastered them. I'll ask and will let you know what I find out. Doroye: now that's what I'm talking about...go ahead and write about the memories in say a year or so later :) Thanks everyone for your support and kind words.
