Ethio Jazz: 5 Notes Against 12 by Jazz Language - Ethiopian Jazz | Mulatu Style Instrumentals

Ethio Jazz: 5 Notes Against 12 by Jazz Language (Full Album) - Ethiopian Jazz | Mulatu Style Instrumentals Experience the hypnotic and soulful world of Ethio Jazz, a genre born from the beautiful tension between Ethiopian pentatonic melodies and Western jazz harmony. "5 Notes Against 12" captures this musical conversation—where traditional modes like Tezeta, Bati, and Ambassel meet Fender Rhodes, vibraphone, and Latin-infused rhythms. From nostalgic dawn reflections to bustling Addis crossroads and spiritual prayers, this album is a journey through the unique soundscape of 1960s–70s Ethiopia, reimagined for today. ⏱️ Tracklist: 00:00 Tezeta at Dawn (The Nostalgia Suite) 05:52 Five Notes Before Sunrise 11:39 Addis Ababa at 3 AM (Quiet Crossroads) 16:23 Streetlight Shimmer 21:27 12 Against 5 (The Eternal Conversation) 26:46 Pentatonic vs. Chromatic 32:01 The Krar Player's Dream 37:06 Lyre on the Loose 41:51 Bati Mood (For the Spirits) 47:57 Ambassel Prayer 52:34 Escaping the Funk (But It Followed Me to Addis) 58:06 Funk on the Blue Nile 01:03:20 Taxi to Merkato (Don't Stop the Car) 01:06:55 Merkato Groove 01:10:55 Saxophonist's Tezeta (A Private Cry) 01:15:23 The Lonely Pen 01:20:16 Ethio-Mambo (Crossing the Atlantic) 01:25:33 Latin to Lalibela 01:29:54 Sunset Over Unity Square 01:33:06 Goodbye, Addis (For Now) #ethiojazz #ethiopianjazz #mulatuastatke #tezeta #africanjazz #worldjazz #jazzfusion #vintagejazz #jazzlanguage Music and visuals prepared for Jazz Language. © 2026 Jazz Language.
