Ibex Band – Stereo Instrumental Music
Stereo Instrumental Music captures the legendary Ibex Band at a crucial moment in Ethiopian music history. Recorded in the mid-1970s, these instrumental sessions helped define the sound that would underpin countless classic Ethiopian records for decades to come.
Later known as The Roha Band, Ibex were central to the careers of artists such as Mulatu Astatke, Mahmoud Ahmed, Tilahun Gessesse, and Aster Aweke. This 2026 repress presents the album as a gatefold 2LP, praised by Gilles Peterson, Worldwide FM, and publications including The Wire, MOJO, and Uncut.
