Mulatu Astatke

*Mulatu Of Ethiopia* captures the birth of Ethio-jazz—Mulatu Astatke weaving Ethiopian scales with jazz, Latin rhythm and smoky vibraphone melodies. Recorded in the late ’60s, the grooves feel both hypnotic and elegant, where horns drift over deep percussion and everything moves with quiet, cinematic cool. A timeless doorway into one of the most distinctive sounds in global jazz.
