Hawash!

is a 1984 album by Finnish gospel musician Jaakko Löytty.

The title song was inspired by the Oromo musician Ali Mohammed Birra, whom Löytty met in 1976 during the Etiopiasafari tour.

He met Birra in an Addis Abeba nightclub and bought his LP, which included a song about the River Hawash.

Löytty wrote down a translation of the lyrics of the song on the inner sleeve of the album.
