Our Take

HAILU MERGIA's latest offering, "Yene Mirchain," is a captivating journey through the ethereal realms of Ethiopian jazz and funk. Mergia, a master of the accordion, effortlessly blends traditional elements with modern sensibilities, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

From the hypnotic groove of "Anchihoye Lene" to the melancholic beauty of "Gum Gum," Mergia's compositions are as diverse as they are engaging. His skillful accordion playing weaves in and out of intricate rhythms and melodies, creating a soundscape that is at once familiar and exotic.

The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and layer of sound intricately woven together to create a cohesive whole. The horn section in particular shines, adding a touch of brightness and energy to Mergia's soulful compositions.

"Yene Mirchain" is a testament to Mergia's musical prowess and his ability to transcend cultural boundaries through his music. It is an album that demands to be listened to from start to finish, each track building on the last to create a truly immersive experience.

In a world of cookie-cutter pop and soulless electronic beats, HAILU MERGIA stands out as a true original, a master of his craft who continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of music. "Yene Mirchain" is a triumph, a testament to Mergia's continued relevance and creativity in a world that often feels devoid of both.
