Yezina Negash is one of Ethiopia’s most popular Azmari singers. Her cameo performance on the Heliocentrics’ collaboration with Ethiopian jazz veteran Mulatu Astatke initially brought her to the attention of Western listeners.
Yezina’s performance was well-received, and it set the tone for her debut CD, which is only available on AddisTunes.com. ‘Mengedagnaw’ is the title of her most recent album and DVD.
