Try Dr. Kay Selamay of Columbia University Music Dep[artment. She did her
Ph. D. thesis on music of the Ethiopian Jews ("Falashan"?) if that is
what you want. Also there are at least two recordings on Folkways music.
(Very old recordings.)
Howard Lenhoff, former President of the American Association for
Ethiopian Jews.
