1967) is an Israeli jazz saxophonist and composer. His sound is

reminiscent of John Coltrane's, who has highly influenced

Barihun.Barihun was born in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia

to a Jewish family. His house resided next to the music school of

Addis Ababa University, as well as a nearby military base. Young

Barihun fell for the march sound of the saxophones and other wind

instruments emerging from the neighbouring military brass band. He got

a saxophone and joined the music school, where he was exposed to the

albums of Charlie Parker and others.By the age of 16, Barihun joined

the Ethiopian military band, with which he toured through Ethiopia and

the Eastern Bloc. Mengistu Haile Mariam once sent him to play at Kim

Il-sung's birthday in North Korea. This period in his life came to an

abrupt end six years later, when the band's bus was ambushed by EPRDF

forces, rebelling against Mengistu's Marxist dictatorship. Most band

members were killed in the prolonged attack, and Barihun was wounded

by two bullets.For eight years Barihun kept playing every night at the

Hilton and Sheraton hotels of Addis Ababa. He also played in the

Ethiopian National Theater and toured with Mahmoud Ahmed. At the age

of 21 he established his own Jazz band, with which he toured Europe

three times a year. His last European tour ended merely three weeks

before his aliyah to Israel.
