somebody should have warned us about ethiopian jazz making a comeback! now it’s too late and mr. mulatu has paired up with UK based collective “the heliocentrics” to deliver a funked up collaboration in the form of 14 track album titled “inspiration information” on strut records.

to accompany the album’s release, mulatu & the band will be touring the EU during the coming months. for a full list of gigs check the official site for the release here.
