about

Recorded by David Evans in 2012 and 2013, this album is the first to survey the range of music in a single Ethiopian village. Yeha is located in the far north of the country in north-central Tigray, about 30 km south of Eritrea.

By focusing on one village, it enables us to see the relationships of music to daily life, the seasonal cycle, the human life cycle, and local history.

This release includes a 52-page book that provides an account of the cultural and musical history of the region along with annotations for each track by David Evans. The book also features more than 65 color photos of the musicians, their community, and the village life of Yeha. This book is presented in PDF format.

“From the Lion Mountain” is released in partnership with the University of Memphis and its High Water Recording Company.
