Back to Ethiopia

2021 /

Fuses modern beats with the timeless spirit of Ethiopian jazz. Nostalgic yet fresh, the track is rooted in traditional Ethiopian pentatonic scales—the foundation of the country's distinctive sound, especially in jazz. With 40 unique samples, Nadri Brown pays tribute to Mulatu Astatke and his legendary Ethiopiques, Vol. 4, recreating the energy of a live brass band with vibrant textures and organic grooves.
