This album features the religious music of Ethiopian Jews, known as Falashas. While most Falashas-and Ethiopians in general-speak Amharic, the tracks on this album are in Geez. There is no evidence the Falashas have ever spoken Hebrew. Liner notes include photographs as well as a brief history and description of the Falasha culture.
