Hailu Mergia
If you're a fan of artists such as Mulatu Astatke and Getachew Mekurya, then 'Hailu Mergia & His Classical Instrument:
Shemonmuanaye' is an album you really should track down. Recorded in 1985, but only gaining a wide release this year, it's a
contagious meeting of Ethiopian rhythms and African pop. Bewarned, if 'Hari Meru Meru' doesn't get your party grooving
gently, medical assistance may be required. Happy new year and thanks for stopping by in 2013.
