Ayalew Mesfin
Ethiopian musician
Ayalew Mesfin Chufa (Amharic: አያለው መስፍን ቹፋ, romanized: ʼayālaw masefené čufā) is an Ethiopian musician.
He is one of the most important figures of Ethio-Groove.[1]
Early life
Mesfin was born in the ’40s in Weldiya, North Wollo.[2][3] At age 11, he ran away from home to Addis Abba to pursue a career in music, which his father disapproved of.[4] Before becoming a musician, Mesfin worked as a waiter, doorman and cashier.[2] He later enrolled in the Ethiopian Republican Guard.[2]
Career
Mesfin's introduction to the music world was through Gétatchèw Kassa and his Soul Ekos Band, whom he performed and recorded with for some time.[2] This was short-lasted, and he instead decided to open up a music venue, called the Stereo Club, and a record store, called Ayalew Music Shop.[2]
In 1973, Mesfin formed the Black Lion Band with former members of the Police Pop
