Mulatu Astatke, known as the founder of Ethio-jazz, develops harmonically static and repetitive music, which calls for dance, even a trance sometimes funky, sometimes melancholic, and always imbued with oriental melismas. As he approaches his 80th birthday, the artist who has influenced countless musicians across continents is now accompanied by the ensemble of Australian musicians Black Jesus Experience. His repertoire presents more modern arrangements, without losing any of its telluric and timeless character.
