}}Y'Anbessaw Tezeta is the second studio album by Ethiopian tenor saxophone player Getatchew Mekuria in collaboration with Dutch punk rock band The Ex and several other musicians. The title is Amharic for "The Memory of the Lion" and Mekurya intended the record to mark the closure of his 65-year career.[2][3]

History, recording and release

Five years after the release of his album Moa Anbessa, Getatchew Mekuria asked The Ex to make one more album with him. Mekurya had toured the world with the band and a number of guest musicians in the interim, and chose to revisit some of his older material after deepening his artistic collaboration with them.[1] From December 2011 through April 2012 they recorded several pieces of music—mostly instrumentals—in both the Netherlands and Ethiopia. The Ex brought together an international roster of friends to play horns on the sessions, including Chicago saxophonist Ken Vandermark, French clarinetist Xavier Charles, and Dutch trombonists Joost Buis and Wolter Wierbos.[4] The Ex produced the release of the recordings themselves as a benefit for Mekuria.

The album also features an extra disc of music by Getatchew Mekuria playing live with various ensembles. Much of the disc demonstrates the evolution of his collaboration with European punk and jazz musicians: the first three tracks are of Mekuria performing with the Instant Composers Pool (ICP) in the Netherlands at The Ex's 25th anniversary show in 2004;[5] one track is a recording with The Ex lineup that appears on their album Turn live in France, also from 2004; three more tracks are feature both The Ex and members of ICP (the lineup from Moa Anbessa) performing in Montreal from 2009. The extra disc also features a hidden track of rehearsals, plus archival recordings of Mekuria playing with both the Police and Haile Selassie 1 Theatre Orchestras in Addis Ababa, which The Ex found in a box while visiting Addis Ababa and date back to the early 1960s.[5]

The two-CD set came with a 40-page booklet of photos and was released on The Ex's improv and African music imprint, Terp Records.[6]

Reception

Both Time Magazine and The Rap-Up placed Y'Anbessaw Tezeta at number five on their lists of top albums of 2012.[7][8]
