Mulatu Astatke (or Astatqé) was the first African to attend Berklee, the great music school in Boston. After returning to his home in Ethiopia he created music combining the traditions with which he grew up and those in which he'd been trained in Europe and America. In this piece, the horn voicings in particular recall the work of people like Horace Silver.
