Che Belew (March Forward) is one of the strongest windows into Ayalew Mesfin's 1970s Addis Ababa catalogue. Pulled from the Black Lion Band era, it balances clipped dancefloor grooves with warmer, more melodic vocal cuts, and the title track gives the whole set its forward motion. As an archival volume it matters because it shows just how broad Mesfin's writing was - nimble, horn-led, rhythmically locked, and never short on hooks.SIDE ONE:1.
