Alèmayèhu Eshètè : a singer as remarkable for his frenetic rock numbers as for his heartrending ballads. He earned himsef such nicknames as The Ethiopian James Brown or the Abyssinian Elvis. With his dazzling stage presence, nimble voicebox and wicked pompadour, he is a strutting show-off, straight out of American Graffiti or Saturday Night Fever. Alèmayèhu still represents the explosive myths of the 60s.
Press Quotes
He became a swaggering star in the late 1960s, when Addis Ababa experienced a golden age of night life and music. Decades later, he was rediscovered.
