  ALLEGRO MUSIC - Ethiopiques
The third installment of Buda's Ethiopiques series is one of the best, an unlikely occurrence as most of this material was released in 1975—a year after the fall of Emperor Haile Sallassie and the rise of a repressive military regime that quickly brought to an end the Golden Age of music.
An album of instrumentals, Ethiopiques 4 is a case study in the inventive blending of the influences that comprised the Ethiopian groove.
This volume of the Ethiopiques series is the one that veers closest to what Westerners think of as the traditional modern sound of Africa.

 * Dusted Reviews - Ethiopiques *
The first 12 songs on Volume 16 of the heralded Ethiopiques series featuring Asnaqetch Werqu were released during the beginning of the revolutionary disorder and banned soon after as records were taken off the shelves.
Werqu was an orphan who went on to become the first actress to appear on the Ethiopian stage.
The packaging, as with all the Ethiopiques releases is tops, with extensive liner notes in both French and English, and a number of photographs of Werqu at different stages of her career.

Ethiopiques 17: Tlahoun Gessesse, 1970-1977 by Ben Tausig
Ethiopiques: Volume 17 was one of 2004's great retrospectives, with little ink spilled.
Two others are comparable; The World of Arthur Russell, Soul Jazz's homage to a singular composer and disco-era outsider, and Astral Glamour, a comprehensive collection of recordings by the smart, weird punk band the Homosexuals.

His hit at the time, "Altchalkoum," was couched as a love song but received as a protest, and was banned by both Selassie and the military regime that followed him.
Gessesse's volume of the Ethiopiques series of reissued Ethiopian pop, are from 1970-75, so 'Altchalkoum' isn't included.
But the album introduces Western listeners to a striking voice: clear and impassioned, adding ornate arabesques to pop melodies and leaping to almost hysterical peaks.

 MULATU ASTATKE / ETHIOPIQUES VOLUME 4
Having immersed himself in Caribbean music, funk, jazz and Latin grooves during his lengthy stint abroad, Mulatu returned to his native land to give rise to a brand new sound.
An album of instrumentals, Ethiopiques Volume 4 is a case study in the inventive blending of influences that comprised the Ethiopian groove.

Not too long after, I also noticed Astatke and other striking music on the stereo at Horn of Africa, as well, on our many excursions out there.
So, I poked around emusic for any Mulatu Astatke and found the Buda Musique Ethiopiques set of compilations.
[…] I can’t remember how we ran across them — I think it was after I had been listening to the Ethiopiques compilation, and picked up the Broken Flowers soundtrack, which has some Mulatu Astatke tracks on it.

Addis Ababa, the capital, rocked, and small labels, notably Amha, released a plethora of modern local music.
The Ethiopiques series covers a lot of ground, from the Ethio-jazz of Mulatu Astatke, who shared the stage with the great Duke Ellington when the latter played in the country, to the exquisite sadness of vocalist Mahmoud Ahmed, one of Ethiopia's top voices for over three decades.
There's even a contemporary disc (Vol.2) covering the underground folk scene of the Azmaris, the bohemians who appear in nightclubs and dives around the capital.
