mulatu astatke / the heliocentrics - Inspiration Information 3
This latest instalment in Strut's Inspiration Information series is a collaboration between acclaimed Stones Throw ensemble The Heliocentrics (known for their interpretations of pieces by David Axelrod, Sun Ra and James Brown) and one of Africa's foremost bandleaders, Mulatku Astatke. "Known primarily through the successful 'Ethiopiques' album series and the film soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch's 'Broken Flowers', Mulatu Astatke is one of Ethiopia's foremost musical ambassadors. Informed by spells living and studying in the UK and the USA, his self-styled Ethio-jazz sound flourished during the "Swinging Addis" era of the late '60s as he successfully fused Western jazz and funk with traditional Ethiopian folk melodies, five tone scale arrangements and elements from music of the ancient Coptic church. The recording liaison took place thanks to some inspired programming by Karen P for her 'Broad Casting' session at Cargo in London on 17th April 2008. Securing Mulatu for his first UK live date in over 15 years, she called on The Heliocentrics to back the maestro and, with only a day of rehearsal, they tore the place up with a series of original Mulatu classics, chalking up one of the most memorable gigs of the year."
