Gétatchèw Mèkurya, vétéran culte de la saxophonie éthiopienne, est l'inventeur d'un style musical très singulier: il existe parmi les nombreuses formes chantées d'Ethiopie un genre purement guerrier, épique, déclamatoire, hurleur, égosillé appelé "shellela". Ce fracas vociférant, strictement vocal, était improvisé avant chaque combat: Gétatchèw Mèkurya a eu la riche idée de transposer pour son instrument et nous voila confrontés à une forme musicale audacieuse, impétueuse, enragée. sans vouloir se cantonner à des clichés le shellela saxophone a des airs de free jazz avant la lettre: Gétatchèw Mèkurya se souvient s'être essayé à ces exaltations sonores dès 1952-1953...il ignore toujours tout d'Ornette Coleman ou Albert Ayler! Tous les titres de ce CD ont été publiés chez Philips Ethiopie en 1972 hormis le dernier morceau, un document rare de la fin des années 1950. A noter: Gétatchèw Mèkurya participera au prochain album de Susheela Raman.
Probably the most revered veteran of Ethiopian saxophone, Gétatchèw Mèkurya is the inventor of an extremely distinctive musical 'style'. There exists, among Ethiopia's many vocal genres, a form of singing that is purely warlike: epic and declamatory, harsh and hoarse-voiced, it is known as "shellèla". Gétatchèw Mèkurya had the brilliant idea of transposing it to his saxophone. In this daring, improvisational, angry and impetuous musical form, each melisma spirals dizzyingly towards less structure and greater freedom in the playing. Without resorting to clichés, shellèla saxophone was a sort of free jazz before its time: Mèkurya, who remembers trying out the first heady strains in 1952-53, still knows nothing about Ornette Coleman, or Albert Ayler.
The music on this CD was released by Philips Ethiopia in 1970, except for the last piece, a rarity from the late fifties. Note that Gétatchèw Mèkurya is featured on Susheela Raman's forthcoming album.
