About Mulatu Astatke

Jazz

Ethiopian jazz pioneer Mulatu Astatke blends traditional Ethiopian melodies with jazz and Latin rhythms, creating the genre known as Ethio-jazz. Born in Jimma in 1943, he studied in London, New York and Boston before returning to Addis Ababa in 1969 to introduce vibraphone and conga drums to Ethiopian popular music. His career spans collaborations with Mahmoud Ahmed, a guest appearance with Duke Ellington’s band in 1973, and a resurgence of his 1970s recordings through the Éthiopiques series. In 2015 he recorded with Black Jesus Experience, touring Australia and New Zealand, and his composition "Tezeta" featured in the 2024 film Nickel Boys. After announcing a farewell tour in 2025, Mulatu performed in Amsterdam and London and continued European dates into 2026. No further performances have been announced following the 2026 farewell tour.
