      'Yene Mircha' is a the hypnotic album release from the tireless practitioner of Ethiopian music, Hailu Mergia. It feels as urgent and risky as his live performances are - if you've been as blessed enough to have witnessed - pushing the band to the outer limits of group improvisation and back. The album captures this live experience and fosters an expansive view of what else could be in store for this Ethiopian music legend.
