Tewolde Redda - Eritrea's Guitar Pioneer

Regular price

Tewolde Redda emerged from Asmara, Eritrea and reshaped traditional Eritrean music in the early ‘70s. With an electrified kirar and Eko electric guitar, he released six groundbreaking singles on Philips, Amha, and Yared labels. These tracks, featuring a horn section, reimagined classics, and originals inspired by US military base broadcasts, showcase Tewolde’s mastery. His deep voice weaves tales of love over diverse melodies. The album, a co-release with Mitmitta Musika of Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, comes in a tip-on sleeve with liner notes, translations, and rare photos.
