Born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Mahmoud shined shoes in that city before becoming a handyman at the Arizona Club, where he first sang professionally in the early 1960s. He sang for the Imperial Body Guard Band until 1974, and recorded with other bands for the Amha and Kaifa record labels throughout the 1970s. He opened his own music store in Addis Ababa's Piazza district during the 1980s while he continued his singing career.
In addition to the Imperial Body Guard Band, Mahmoud has sung with the Ibex Band, the Venus Band, the Walias Band, the Idan Raichel Project, and the Roha Band over the course of his career. Since the late 1990s he has enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in Europe and the Americas since Buda Musique launced the Ethiopiques series on compact disc, leading to new recordings and tours in Europe and the United States with Boston's Either/Orchestra

Libelle - thanks for posting this. Desert Blues is a great compilation, which includes two Ethiopian Artists, including Mahmoud Ahmed and Aster. Mela Mela is great Mahmoud classic. Thanks again.

What a great piece! Ethiopian music has its own very distinct sound, just like the food has its own unique taste. Wonderful stuff- both!
@nelsonfilipe450
Parece sempre igual e no entanto não me farto de escutá-la. Hipnótica e dançante.
@zigizinga
One of the best musics I have heard. I love it so much. Thank you Ato Mahmoud. You are a legend.
@bircruz555
The song playing here is a contemporary rendition of an old love tune. "Please divine 'some means or craft (Mela)' I want no one else's love, but yours... I enjoy no other music but you... you are my illness, ..." Ethiopians often have a problem of dating when such songs began. Our generation received them & they are in public domain. A number of artists have their own renditions of the tune. Mahmoud began playing his in the 60's or 70s. (I do not know if I answered your question.)
