"This is a big-scale work of Ethiopian jazz from one of its founding fathers on keyboards and congas and his deft, funky band of English and Ethiopian players. Ethio-jazz is a flag of convenience but actually this music incorporates a great breadth of ingredients - from traditional Ethiopia to cool jazz of the '50s, to the classical tradition and modern grooves, almost Sly Stone. The result is coherent, accessible and rewarding ... This is music to carve its way into your heart. Miles Davis and Gil Evans sketched Spain. Mulatu Astatke portrays his own country. Some artist".
