V/A - Ethiopian Modern Instrumental Hits LP Gutschein “John is the reason thisBack in stock! This selection of jazz instrumentals from late '60s and early '70s Ethiopia represents a side to African music seldom heard in 'World Music' reissue circles. This music represents a hybridised approach to jazz, incorporating African, Latin and Arabic scales alongside the more psychedelic, beat group informed music of the west. This no doubt has something to do with the presence of musicians like Mulatu Astatke, who trained in America.
