Label: Strut
A legendary Ethiopian musician and composer commonly regarded as the father of Ethio-jazz, Mulatu Astatke’s 1972 album Mulatu Of Ethiopia is often cited as his greatest work, the point at which he fused various nebulous pieces of his artistry to create the Ethio-jazz mix in the first place. This special edition of the album features an additional ‘mono mix’ of the tracklisting, retrieved from the original 2” tapes.
