"An absolutely fabulous album which is a mix of the best known musical styles of Ethiopian music sung by one of their most renowned singers. I got hooked on his power packed voice back in the 80's and this compilation album uses some of his best material from that period. Its not just Mahmoud's singing that's special on this album though, just listen to the musical perfection, the saxes breeze along with the guitars sparkling at all the right points and the drummer beating a path for the sweetly played keyboards. This album is not just recommended listening it's essential, so pin back your lugs and prepare to be amazed."
