Contributor: Bilen Shifferaw,
Mulatu Astatke is the godfather of Ethio-jazz—a low-down but sophisticated brew of funky rhythms, pentatonic scales, and vibraphones. Born in the western Ethiopian city of Jimma, Mulatu was musically trained in London, New York City, and Boston where he combined his jazz and Latin music interests with traditional Ethiopian music.
Meklit Hadero, known simply as “Meklit,” is a singer and songwriter born in Ethiopia, now based in San Francisco. She is known for her soulful performing style and for combining jazz, folk, and East African influences in her music.
