Gétatchèw Mèkurya Almaz Yèharèrwa

In the history of Ethiopian music, certain sounds become inseparable from the people who created them. One of those sounds belongs to Getatchew Mekuria. His saxophone did not simply follow melodies. It roared, trembled, and sang with the spirit of the traditional shellela chant, carrying something unmistakably Ethiopian into concert halls around the world.
