Latin influences, so pervasive in the great musical centers of West Africa and the Congo, have been similarly rebuffed, despite the brilliant attempts of a musician like Mulatu Astatke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe was the first and for a long time the only Ethiopian to have studied music abroad (England and USA). In the late ’60s, he brought back ‘ethio-jazz’, as well as a passion for Latin rhythms that was not readily shared by the Ethiopian audience. As early as 1966, he released a single and two LPs in the US entitled \u003cem\u003eAfro-Latin Soul\u003c\/em\u003e (and a third LP, \u003cem\u003eMulatu of Ethiopia\u003c\/em\u003e in 1972), with his Ethiopian Quintet composed of American and Latin-American musicians (Worthy Records). That was three years before Fela’s first American tour and six years prior to Manu Dibango’s key breakthrough with the release of \u003cem\u003eSoul Makossa\u003c\/em\u003e in the Western ‘pre-World music’ market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll this goes to show how much the history of the African continent’s musical modernity should be reconsidered in light of the Ethiopian adventure, even though this lone spark bore little relation, musically or ideologically to the musical revolutions initiated most notably by Ghanian highlife, South African jazz, Congolese rumba or, much later on, by Fela.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLimited Lp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01.
