When the Ibex Band disbanded in 1979, three of its members – Selam Seyoum, Giovanni Rico and Fekadu Amdemeskel – joined with Dawit Yifru, keyboard player for the also recently disbanded Dahlak Band, to form the now-legendary Roha Band. Specializing in modern Ethiopian music with a traditional blend, the band’s first contract was with the Addis Ababa Hilton, where they performed together six days a week, perfecting their signature sound. The Roha Band traveled extensively, in Ethiopia and abroad, and performed on Ethiopian television. They made over 250 recordings with a multitude of celebrated Ethiopian singers, including Aster Aweke, Tilahun Gessesse, Mahmoud Ahmed, Muluken Mellesse, Theodros Tadesse, Hamelmal Abate and Neway Debebe. Although the band broke up in 1994, with the members pursuing individual interests, no other Ethiopian group has matched the number or quality of their recordings.

The Roha Band Lyrics
Abeba Abeba የጥቅምት አበባ የጥቅምት አበባ የጥቅምት አበባ ነሽ አሉ አወድሽው አካሌን በሙሉ የጥቅምት አበባ…
Shew Beli Bileney Di hatin beline adi nu idup Di tangkah beline nu ada…
Yetikimt Abeba የጥቅምት አበባ የጥቅምት አበባ የጥቅምት አበባ ነሽ አሉ አወድሽው አካሌን በሙሉ የጥቅምት አበባ…
