Often celebrated as icons of the golden age of Ethiopian music, Alèmayèhu Eshèté and Hirut Bèqèlè helped define the soulful sound of Addis Ababa in the 1960s and 1970s. Eshèté, sometimes called the “Ethiopian Elvis,” became known for his charismatic stage presence and fusion of Western rock and soul with Ethiopian melodies. Hirut Bèqèlè’s expressive voice and emotional depth made her one of Ethiopia’s most beloved vocalists. Together, their recordings capture the vibrancy, elegance, and innovation of Ethiopia’s musical renaissance.
