Mulatu was the first Ethiopian jazz music-maker to study abroad and
thus be exposed to Western musical trends. When he returned to
Addis Ababa he pursued his dream of drawing on the musical heritage
of his homeland a heritage that has been buffeted by Ethiopia s
turbulent history to produce a unique, compelling blend of music:
Ethiopian sounds with a twist . In the late 1960 s, his Ethio jazz
introduced, among other new ideas, the Afro-Latin soul where he
played conga, piano, vibraphone and innovative musical
arrangements. These included compositions of popular Ethio jazz
music which took on a modern, funk, jazz-infused quality that soon
had recording companies knocking at his door.
