Mulatu Astatke
  • Jazz, Blues, Swing & Chanson

© Alexis Maryon

Mulatu Astatke is one of Ethiopia’s most famous musicians and arrangers, best known for changing the face of Ethiopian music during the »Swinging Addis« era in the late 60s and 70s. He is the father of the music he called »Ethio Jazz«. In 2025, the father of Ethio Jazz will embark on a grand farewell tour and release a new studio album, »Mulatu Plays Mulatu«. The album was recorded at RAK Studios in London and at his Jazz Village Club in Addis. The album features his full big band together with Ethiopian musicians and is a fitting end to an incredible career. »All my life I’ve wanted to bring Ethio Jazz to all corners of the world for people to enjoy, and I feel I’ve succeeded,« says Mulatu. The world of music would definitely echo those words.
