mulatu astatke - mulatu of ethiopia

Mulatu of Ethiopia is one of the defining recordings of Ethio-jazz, blending traditional Ethiopian scales with American jazz, Latin rhythms, and funk. Mulatu Astatke's vibraphone, organ, and distinctive arrangements create a rich, hypnotic sound that is both deeply rooted in Ethiopian musical traditions and remarkably modern. The album remains a cornerstone of African jazz and a major influence on contemporary musicians worldwide.
