Seyfu Yohannes

Über Seyfu Yohannes

Seyfu Yohannes was a golden-age singer treasured for his interpretations of tizita, the Ethiopian mode of memory and longing. A member of the Soul Ekos Band that held down the Addis Ababa club circuit, he recorded a small but deeply loved body of work before his life was cut short. His handful of Éthiopiques-era sides remain touchstones of the era's emotional depth.
