Moa Anbessa is an album by Ethiopian saxophonist Getatchew Mekuria with Dutch post-punk band The Ex and guests, released in 2006 on The Ex's subsidiary label Terp.

[1][2] The project came together on the heels of The Ex's previous studio album Turn, which incorporated elements of Eritrean and Congolese music alongside a tribute to the Ethio-Jazz anthems of Getatchew Mekuria.

[2] In addition to Moa Anbessa, the collaboration yielded tours of Europe and North America as well as an official live DVD released by Buda Musique, producers of the influential Ethiopiques series of ethiojazz compilations.

The name "Moa Anbessa", Amharic for "The Conquering Lion", refers to a political party made up of Ethiopians who support a constitutional monarchy.

Steve Holtje of The Big Takeover ranked Moa Anbessa the best album of the year, writing: "the idea of a bunch of left-wing punks [...] acting as Mekurya’s band had seemed an odd fit, and fraught with potential for disappointment and disaster.
