Tefera Kassa

An Ethiopian performer credited alongside Tilahun Gessesse on a 1960s recording of "Tizita".

The recording

We found almost nothing verifiable about Tefera Kassa. MusicBrainz holds an entry for the name with no country, dates or tags, and no biography, discography or press turned up. The one recording we hold is titled "Tilahun Gessesse and Tefera Kassa: Tizita 1960s". Tilahun Gessesse was a leading Ethiopian vocalist of the 1960s, and tizita, also spelled tezeta, is a general Ethiopian song form and mode of memory and nostalgia rather than a single song.

Whether Tefera Kassa is a singer, an instrumentalist or a mis-credit on the upload is unresolved. Getachew Kassa and Girma Tefera Kassa are different people and should not be merged with this name.
