New Wave Ethio-Jazz | Global Grooves & African Rhythms Mix

In this episode, we explore the music of Ethiopia — with a focus on songs sung in Amharic, a language with a unique rhythm and expressive form, especially in its musical traditions. At the heart of the mix is Ethiopian jazz — a genre shaped by modal Ethiopian melodies such as Tizita and Ambassel, blended with the structures of jazz, Latin rhythms, and funk. The music is rich in hand-played drums, Rhodes piano textures, horn arrangements, and a distinct local sensibility that makes it deeply evocative. This selection brings together a series of vocal Ethio-jazz recordings, treated here as an informal archive — fragments of a golden era when Addis Ababa was alive with sound, creativity, and cross-cultural musical experiments. The episode also includes visual material from the Facebook archive “Historic Ethiopia Through The Camera Lens: 1860s – 1990s,” offering glimpses of the people, places, and moods of the time. It touches on the vibrant cultural life of Addis Ababa in the 1960s–70s, and how, after the 1974 revolution, the Derg regime brought an end to much of the nightlife and artistic freedom. Many musicians fled, and Ethio-jazz went underground, surviving through memory, exile, and revival decades later. This episode is not a full history, but an invitation to listen closely to voices and sounds that remain vital parts of Ethiopia’s rich musical heritage.
