Mulatu Astatke update
If you enjoyed the Mulatu Astatke videos I posted a while back, went to Amazon searching for a great CD of his music to have for your very own, and just didn't know about Ethiopiques, Vol. 4: Ethio Jazz & Musique Instrumentale, 1969-1974, I can't recommend it highly enough. I bought a copy that next day and have been grooving ever since. One part Winston, one part that fabulous jazz of the late sixties/early seventies, one part the soul-moving rhythms of Africa, it is the best company ever if you have to drive to work in the snow:) Trust me on this one.
