Mulatu Astatqe - Éthiopiques 4: Ethio Jazz & Musique Instrumentale 1969-1974 (recorded 169-1974, released 1996, 320 kbps) >afrojazz, ethio-jazz, easy listening, funk >Mulatu Astatke is highly considered the most important jazz musician coming from Ethiopia, defining in a certain way, what was going to be known as Ethio-Jazz. He created a very singular style of jazz improvisation and rhythmic innovations conducting it to a more danceable groovy endeavor at the same time with an obscure and strange touch.
Here's another Digital Trip album. The music in this album is based off an old anime show from the 1980s titled "Giant Gorg", and has yet to be released on CD.
Performed by Nobuyoshi Koshibe & Takashi Kokubo (Synthesizers) and Akira Ishikawa (Percussion).

Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako - Les Ambassadeurs du Motel de Bamako (recorded 1975-77, released 2014, 320 kbps) >Latin, Folk, Afro-Cuban, Rumba >In 1969 an ambitious army lieutenant, a key member of the new junta which had seized power only the previous year, decided that a band was needed to entertain customers at the Motel De Bamako, then a popular venue set in the shade of mango trees on the banks of the river Niger. With his patronage, a group coalesced and in 1972 it attracted guitarist Kanté Manfila, followed a year later by perhaps its most famous member, Salif Këita. The band took its job seriously. They played all styles and in the words of Salif "were real intellectuals. I signed an apprenticeship contract in order to learn the music when I joined the band. We could play all kinds of music. We were a real family. We rehearsed and learnt the songs from 10am to 2pm, and then performed them that evening." >The organ player, Idrissa Soumaoro, elaborates "The patrons brought us their records so that we could learn them: Orquesta Aragon, Fela, James Brown, Celia Cruz ... it was quite something, and when everyone was ready, we covered the songs. There was a real feeling of understanding among ourselves."
