Ethiopian artist Andupa Teshome has quietly released his latest album under the banner of Nahom Records Inc., and it’s the kind of musical moment that quietly shifts expectations. 

Across the tracks, you’ll hear moments where Andupa’s voice carries both comfort and curiosity. He seems to reflect as much as perform melodies that linger, lyrics that invite rather than demand. Backed by Nahom Records, the production feels clean but not overly polished; there’s a warm organic texture that suits his style.

From his earlier work, it’s clear that Andupa moves at his own pace. He rooted in Ethiopian melodies and backed by relaxed grooves has always set him apart.  With this new album, he doesn’t stray from that identity; instead, he leans into it, reminding listeners that you don’t always have to chase the crowd to truly connect.

Some of his previous tracks demonstrate this: for instance “Yalanchi” and “Mahamud Ga” (2015) shows his ability to blend Ethiopian melodies with modern production.  His catalog may not be huge, but it’s consistent in showing his care for craft and his willingness to carve out a space of his own.

Andupa offering a full album signals confidence. It also signals respect for his listeners and for the craft. For long-time fans, this is confirmation of his path. For new listeners, it’s a chance to discover someone who bridges tradition and contemporary with ease.

Andupa Teshome’s new album isn’t a flashy takeover it’s a subtle claim: “I’m still here. I’m doing my thing.” In a busy scene, that kind of quiet consistency can end up meaning a lot.
