Mulatu Astatke
Mulatu Astatke gives Ethio-jazz a distinct point of entry: Ethiopian musical material shaped through jazz and Latin music. His vibraphone, percussion and keyboard work connects an Ethiopian scene with an education and recording career that crossed several countries.
Mulatu of Ethiopia makes that exchange concrete. Recorded in New York, it brings Ethiopian scales into sessions with jazz and Latin musicians. Start with Mulatu or Dewel, then explore the Addis Ababa recordings and collaborations described by Trinity Laban.
