Francis Falceto is reviving his "Ethiopiques," the legendary music collection dedicated to Ethio-jazz.
The ethnomusicologist is enriching the monumental series of records, dormant since 2017, with six new installments, including two focusing on two little-known figures, Muluken Melesse and Nersès Nalbandian.

Admas – Sons of Ethiopia

https://amf.didiermary.fr/admas-sons-ethiopia/

Sons of Ethiopia is a fascinating piece of the Ethiopian musical puzzle. Emerging from the community of Ethiopian exiles who had been scattered to the winds by the brutality of the Derg – the military dictatorship that had deposed Haile Selassie – the album was the sound of a new generation.

“Lost” album from 1984, re-released […]

"La sua musica jazz leggendaria ha fuso lo stile americano e i ritmi cubani con le scale pentatoniche dell’Africa orientale. Ora, all’età di 82 anni, Mulatu Astatke vuole puntare i riflettori sui musicisti tribali della sua amata Etiopia."

Riffing with Mulatu Astatke, the king of Swinging Addis

His legendary jazz fused American style and Cuban rhythms with East Africa's pentatonic scales. Now, at age 82, Mulatu Astatke wants to turn the spotlight on the tribal musicians of his beloved Ethiopia.
