          A quite sad, but funny story for many people down here is from when Kweysha Seta was offered a contract for this album. 

     Being illiterate it was said he was fooled to sign it, not understanding that he would only earn 500birr (about 100 usd in 1991, rough guessing) for it. It became a big hit, maybe even bigger than expected, and the cover was reprinted several times. Now it’s out of reach in most shops in Addis, and they are saying they stoped getting access to it. 

       The distributor Ethio Music Shop, with the boss named Asrat has been closed with his cassette business for maybe three years now, making money on electronics instead. This shop was a great distributor of traditional music in the 80s and 90s, I really wish that some of his releases will be made accessible again, including this amazing cassette-album of Kweysha Seta.
