AITHIOJAZZ MULATU ASTATKE

Ethiopian music legend Mulatu Astatke invented Ethio-Jazz. With a whole new generation of fans and collaborators he’s just as innovative today.

Master musician and composer, Mulatu Astatke, is fresh from Addis Ababa. He has flown into London from Ethiopia to do press on his forthcoming album Mulatu Steps Ahead and to attend DJ Gilles Peterson’s annual Worldwide Awards and celebrate Mulatu Astatke/The Heliocentrics’ Inspiration Information being voted Album Of The Year.

Half a century has passed since Mulatu Astatke first coined the name ‘Ethio-Jazz’ and remarkable as it might seem, his music is a greater source of inspiration than ever.
