Lopa Kothari introduces a specially recorded studio session by the veteran Ethiopian singer Girma Bèyènè, once a part of Addis Ababa's vibrant music scene of the 1970s and who has recently returned to music with a new record, part of the Ethiopiques series, made with the French Ethio-jazz group Akalé Wubé.
