Wesenyeleh Mebreku- Resonance of Time

Wesenyeleh Mebreku's Resonance of Time channels the melodic gravity of Ethiopian folk tradition through the humble pings and pongs of a Casio CT-201 keyboard and the soft tick of its onboard drum machine, released in the mid-80s on a tiny cassette run. Fans of Hailu Mergia will find something essential here — the same patient, ancient-feeling warmth passed through the original Casio electronic keyboard model.
