Tekle Tesfazghi

Eritrean drummer and singer. Died 1987 in a car accident, aged 41 years. Best known for having recorded the final two records on the legendary Amha label. These records were never released despite Amha Records having been cleared twice by government censors. They were destroyed because Tesfazghi was of Eritrean origin. He and Eshete's father were imprisoned for alleged "pro-independence" sentiments.
