Mulatu Astatke
HERE London, WC2H 8LH , [Venue Details]Mulatu Astatke is one of Ethiopia’s most celebrated musicians and arrangers, best known for changing the face of Ethiopian music during the “Swinging Addis” era of the late ‘60s and 1970s. He is the father of the music he has named “Ethio Jazz”.
At 81, the Ethiopian composer and multi-instrumentalist is considered the father of "Ethio-jazz," a movement born in the late 1960s that fused jazz, Latin music, and traditional Ethiopian music. After the "golden age of the 1970s" in Ethiopia, his music regained popularity in 1998 thanks to the Ethiopiques record series, before being further popularized by Jim Jarmusch's 2005 film Broken Flowers. Since then, he has toured worldwide and collaborated with numerous artists from all walks of life, bringing his hypnotic and haunting music, both modern and traditional, to a wider audience.
