Description

Condtion: Never been played. Cover was in good condition but has some stains due to age and storage.

Description: He was everything most musicians can only dream of being: a lyricist, a music writer, an arranger, a vocalist, an a accomplished pianist and finally a bandleader. To most, if any name comes to mind with the word arranger, it is probably that of Mulatu Astatqe.  Yet, according to Francis Falceto, in the heyday of vinyl records, The self-taught Girma Beyene (he never had formal training playing instruments or arranging music) is credited to having arranged close to 65 titles, compared to Mulatu's 40.  Girma left a handful of recordings as a vocalist, but it was as an arranger and pianist that he is fondly remembered today. 

…………  You know history sometimes doesn’t pay justice to everybody.  I would say Mulatu, because of his background, because of what he has done remains one of the most respected musicians in Ethiopia.  Meanwhile, somebody like Girma Beyene has been forgotten.

Track A-

Eenken Yelelebesh (Lyrics by Getachew Degefu (1944-2000) a famous pianist player who contributed to the Ethiopian Airlines Instrumentals, music by Girma Beyene, arranged by Mulatu Astatqe). This song was written for Miss Sophia Assfaw who had won the first Miss Ethiopia pageant in 1964.

Track B-

Ene Negn Bay Manesh (Lyrics by Getachew Degefu, Music by Girma Beyene, Arranged by Mulatu Astatqe)
