A song from a former capital city (the 4th) of Ethiopia, as performed by Aster Aweke on her new album Checheho.

Gonder is known for preserving tradition and custom like the iskista dance, as opposed to the more diverse and modern capital city Addis Ababa.

Gonder also was the city where Italian forces made their last stand. The British 12th (African) Division led by Major-General “Fluffy”, along with the Kenya Armoured Car Regiment and Emperor Haile Selassie’s patriots, ended the occupation of Ethiopia when they seized Gonder in 1941.
