Ethiopian music company Muzikawi presents the first reissue of Teodros Makonnen’s Teodros Makonnen With His Organ (ቴዎድሮስ መኮንን ከኦርጋኑ ጋር). Pioneering home recording in Ethiopia recasting traditional songs in a wholly electronic style of atmospheric drum machines and hypnotic synth organs that opened new paths for musical dreaming. A cornerstone of the early digital sound of Ethiopian music in the 1980s and beyond. Today electronic sounds synthesizers and digital production are taken for granted in Ethiopian music but in the early 1980s they were novelties that polarized opinion. Even to this day the story of Teodros Makonnen’s legacy has never been properly told. Originally released on cassette only the recording has now been restored remastered and presented across 2LPs in a gatefold sleeve including liner notes and previously unpublished archival photographs.
