Mulatu Plays Mulatu marks Mulatu Astatke's first major studio album in over a decade, reinventing his classic compositions in his pioneered Ethio-jazz style.
Recorded in New York in 1972, this pivotal album marks a juncture in Astatke's musical journey when he adeptly fused various styles to craft the distinctive genre known as Ethio-jazz.
Sonically diverse psych from heavily fuzzed-out to Deadhead-friendly mellow, a disco-ish tunes and a strong Afrobeat backbone. The Nigerian sound is fascinatingly tangled.
Showcasing Auger's open-minded approach and his masterful organ & piano skills, the album whips up a rich blend of jazz, R&B, psychedelic touches and soulful grooves
