Ethiopia (1995)

"Woretaw Wubet, a phenomenal Ethiopian vocalist and Masinko player, has been performing music since he was 14 years old. He has six albums so far, his latest being 'Ethiopia', and which was his third solo effort. In this recording Woretaw blends the Masinko with keyboards to give it a contemporary flavor. He has also collaborated with other traditional Ethiopian musicians on the acclaimed 'Ethiopian Millennium Collection' album."

Net als de krar wordt dit instrument gebruikt door Ethiopische minstrelen, de zogenaamde azmaris.
