Mulatu Astatke Featuring Fekade Amde Maskal = Mulatu Astatke Featuring Fekade Amde Maskal

Ethiopian jazz as ritual, rebellion, and reverie.

This collaboration fuses Mulatu Astatke’s pioneering Ethio-jazz vision with Fekade Amde Maskal’s soulful expressiveness, creating music that’s hypnotic, mysterious, and alive with tension. Horns and vibraphones shimmer like desert heat, percussion pulses with ritual precision, and melodies hover between melancholy and ecstatic release.

It’s jazz unbound—rooted in tradition yet restless, edgy, and cinematic. Each track feels like a journey through shadow and sunlight, through memory and imagination, where groove and spirit collide in unpredictable ways.

Mulatu Astatke featuring Fekade Amde Maskal isn’t just an album—it’s a sonic rite, an invitation to lose yourself in sound and find something ancient and urgent waiting there.
