የካተት (Ethio Jazz)

Recorded
1969-1972
Released

Yekatit: Ethio Jazz is a compilation of tracks recorded by Mulatu Astatke and his band between 1969 and 1972, the years preceding the release of his seminal album Mulatu Of Ethiopia. Featuring Feqadu Amde Mesqel on tenor saxophone, Ethio Jazz captures Astatke’s first experimentations with combining Ethiopian melodies and scales with strong Latin rhythms,  70s funk and soulful grooves.
