Mulatu Astatke became an international star in his 60s, thanks to the Ethiopiques series of reissue albums and the subsequent use of his music in the Jim Jarmusch movie Broken Flowers.
In this lecture at the Toronto Red Bull Music Academy in 2007, the father of Ethio-jazz talked about creating an entirely new genre of music, the incalculable contribution Africa has made to modern music and the immense respect he has for his home country’s indigenous “scientists of sound.”

__________________________
What brought this interest was a life spent innovating. Born in Jimma, Ethiopia, Astatke trained in London, New York City and Boston where he began to blend jazz and Latin music with the music of his homeland. From the ’50s to the ’70s he worked with many popular Ethiopian artists as a musician and arranger, and birthed what has come to be known as Ethio-jazz. Astatke could be most often seen leading his band from behind a vibraphone and conga drums - instruments that he eventually introduced to Ethiopia.

This man has a deal to not to involve in #Ethiopian politics. That is not good at all. His country in in a serious trouble.
@Teodros Yeshua You have to involve in your countries politics in some constructive way other than watching it while it doomed to fail. That is not really mean racism. You misleading the conversation.
@@addisonline3947this is an old video
This is about music man, I get what your saying but people don’t always have to talk about the things they don’t like in there country or even in their life. It is ok to look at roots and look at the positive and keep it at that. He is not a politician and probably doesn’t want to be either, he’s a musician, let him stick to music
