MULATU ASTATKE AND HOODNA ORCHESTRA - TENSION VINYL ARTIST P for a singer who hasEthio jazz pioneer Mulatu Astatke joins the Hoodna Orchestra, Tel Avivs number one Afro funk collective, melding his enchanting vibraphone playing with their brass heavy force across seven original compositions that play tribute to the classic Mulatu sound while forging fresh paths.
