Befekir Kebede Photography | Mulatu Astatke - one of Ethiopia's greatest jazz players - has been in Australia taking part in the 2010 Melbourne International Jazz Festival. Mulatu Astatke, who is 67 this year is one of the giants in the Ethiopian pop and jazz music production and arrangement industry and he made his Australian debut this week. Joined by a local Australian band by the name of The Black Jesus Experience, Mulatu performed in a packed theatre in central Melbourne, receiving frequent standing-ovation. The whole concert was put together to give the Australian audience a taste of the Ethio-Jazz genre. To Ethiopian audiences it was a familiar sound of fine music reminiscent of Ethiopia. And to Australian jazz lovers, it was a performance infused with traditional and contemporary Ethiopian musical notes that left them stunned.
