Product Details
Recorded during a pivotal era for Ethiopian music, just before the 1974 revolution would dramatically reshape the country's cultural landscape, these 1971 field recordings capture a sonic world that was already beginning to vanish. Ragnar Johnson and Ralph Harrisson documented traditions rooted deep in regional and ceremonial life, offering a rare ethnographic window into a country whose music the wider world was only beginning to understand through the Ethiopiques series decades later.
