New York (Tadias) – One of the most anticipated music shows in London next week is Ethio-jazz inventor Mulatu Astatke’s collaboration with the Heliocentrics collective. “Even if the evening doesn’t live up to expectations, the Ethiopian bandleader’s new album is sure to make it onto my end-of-year-list of the best releases,” writes culture commentator Clive Davis on his Spectator blog.

music. Here is the video:

One thought on “Ethiopian Jazz on Display in London: Mulatu the Magnificent”

  1. I really enjoyed this unique musical talent and show on 20th of May 2009 at Koko, Camden London. It was a complete revolution of jazz music with exhilarating vibe and melody. The hall was full and the audiences were mainly young people who were happy and in musical world. Mulatu was great, what a wonderful show.
