Mulatu Astatke - Ethiopiques, Vol. 4 [CD]

In the Ethiopian musical world, Mulatu Astatqé is a totaly unique personality, a legend unto himself. For 30 years, he has been an inescapabe presence. His true singularity resides in his efforts in instrumental music in a country where musical culture and tradition are strangers to it. Jim Jarmush inlcuded some of these hypnotic instrumentals to great use in the soundtrack of « Broken Flowers ».
