Halieye Tadesse - Inie Aldelagneme [INSTRUMENTAL]
Produced by Elias Melka
A major difference from the official version is that the chorus is missing at the beginning but then re-emerges later.
I found this on a zip file that was supposedly for Tadesse's 2012 Album "Fikir" but all of the tracks were from his 2002 breakthrough album Hulie Hulie mislabeled as songs from the newer almbum. This kind of track would usually be labeled as "Unknown" by websites like Discogs, Spotify, YouTube, just like on Tibebu Workiye's 2003 album Ne-Geste Saba which contained an instrumental bonus track for his song Mayayie. This track has also never been officially uploaded to YouTube?! What? Even the Mayayie instrumental can be found on YouTube. Anyways, this is a great find and Hulie Hulie is a wonderful album with unforgettable feeling and creativity in its sound. I always wondered what the songs would sound like w.o the vocals, and at least we can all get to hear one of these.
