{"product_id":"che-belew-march-forward-cd","title":"Che Belew (March Forward) (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAyalew Mesfin stands aside the likes of Mulatu Astake, Mahmoud Ahmed, Hailu Mergia and Alemayehu Eshete as a legend of 1970s Ethiopia. Mesfin's music is some of the funkiest to arise from this unconquerable East African nation. Mesfin's recording career, captured in nearly two dozen 7\" singles and numerous reel-to-reel tapes, shows the strata of the most fertile decade in Ethiopia's 20th century recording industry, when records were pressed constantly by both independent upstarts and corporate behemoths, even if they were only distributed within the confines of this East African nation. Though Mesfin was forced underground by the Derg regime that took control of Ethiopia in 1974, he has returned almost 50 years later with this triumphant set albums - the first time that his music has been presented in this form. These albums give us a chance to discover a rare and beautiful moment in music history, in anthologies built from Mesfin's uber-rare 7\" single releases and from previously unreleased recordings taken from master tapes. Che Belew gives us a chance to discover a rare \u0026amp; beautiful moment in music history, in an anthology built from his uber-rare 7\" single releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1        Yetembelel-Loga (Tall And Graceful)\u003cbr\u003e2        Che Belew (March Forward)\u003cbr\u003e3        Ho Bilo Hede (He Went Marching)\u003cbr\u003e4        Teregew Nebere (You Used To Understand)\u003cbr\u003e5        Neye Temelesh Belwat (Tell Her To Come Back)\u003cbr\u003e6        Wegene (My Countryman)\u003cbr\u003e7        Rehab (Hunger)\u003cbr\u003e8        Ambassel (Ambassel)\u003cbr\u003e9        Endetnesh Belulegn (Ask How She's Doing)\u003cbr\u003e10        Tizitash Zewetir (Your Memories Always)\u003cbr\u003e11        Wubalem (Stunning)\u003cbr\u003e12        Ayish Ayishina (I See And I See You)\u003cbr\u003e13        Turi Turi Nafa (Lies And More Lies)\u003cbr\u003e14        Sew Malet Esunew (A Virtuous Person)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayalew Mesfin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46917634785476,"sku":"ZZ-NA5192-CD","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1741\/5543\/files\/chebelew.png?v=1792591189","url":"https:\/\/getondown.com\/products\/che-belew-march-forward-cd","provider":"Get On Down","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
