Theodros Mitiku - Teddy's Mood [1998]

                      R  E  U  P  L  O  A  D    

Rest in peace Theodros! Visit this link and read this gentle obituary text:


   

       Theodros Mitiku was one of the most talented and versatile Ethiopian musicians. Teddy's passion for music emerged at an early age when he was given an alto saxophone by his second grade music teacher, and his talent has continued to flourish. 

       For the past 36 years, "Teddy Mitty," as he is known to his fans, has been enthralling audiences with his unique playing style and mastery of the saxophone. Starting in 1962 Teddy has performed with the "The Soul Echoes", later called "Ibex Band", "The Menelik Band" and other bands in Egypt and the United States, finally returning to Ethiopia after a fifteen year absence.

      Teddy breaks new ground on this amazing album; the first acoustic Ethiopian/jazz blend record ever to be produced.
