Endelibe Mandefro – Ethiopian music

This second release takes us from Morocco to Ethiopia.

Difficult to find information on this tape, partly because I do not understand Amharic.
Maybe some Ethiopian friends can help me translate.
According to my research it should be a cassette by Endelibe Mandefro. However, I have not been able to find any information about her. But nevertheless this is beautiful music, and so enjoy it!

Facciata A

Facciata B

 

I’ve tried to extract the cover text with AI and this is the result:

A

“Bodies”
“If I desire you, I have many”
“You, son of Wollo”
“I went to Gondar”
“Say it, say it”
“Come, ever flower”
“Shebel, Shebelie”

B

“Your love is waking me up”
“The covenant has been forgotten”
“Without saying your name”
“Guest, guest”
“If I desire you, I have many”
“It sways me”
“What can I do?”
