Mulatu Astatke - New York - Addis - London (2xLP)

Release Date: Jan 1, 2012

For fans of: Ethio-jazz, Fela Kuti, and spiritual Afro grooves.

A border-blurring soundtrack for the modern tiki nomad. New York – Addis – London captures Mulatu Astatke’s full-circle return to his Ethio-jazz roots—fusing African polyrhythms, smoky Latin percussion, and moody funk-jazz from three continents. It’s the sound of a well mixed cocktail: bittersweet brass, dusty Fender Rhodes, and rolling percussion steeped in incense and jet fuel. Spin this in your lounge and let your bar drift from Harlem to Harrar.
