Man, am I always behind the curve, or what? It seems like I hear about the best shit ten years later than everyone else.
Anyway, it was just today that I heard of Mulatu Astatke and his 'Ethio-jazz'. So, I've been listening to whatever I could find of the man and, damn if his music doesn't burn like the heat of a thousand suns. Yep, another rekkid to put in the ''whenever I get some damn money'' ledger.
Mulatu Astatke music on Youtube:
'Mulatu'
'Yegelle Tezeta'
'Metche Dershe'
Live Performance.
For sale- along with a huge amount of interesting music by other artists- here.

Apparently Jim Jarmusch is way ahead of you... if you'd seen Broken Flowers, you'd have heard this 3 years ago.
It's not my thing, but it's one of those kinds of jazz that helps me see how jazz doesn't suck categorically.
I get the feeling that Jim Jarmusch is way ahead of me in most things. I'm what you might call an 'unhipster'.
