I love this music so much, I love Ethiopia. Mulatu Estatque, Mahmoud Ahmed (I've seen him twice in concert!). What beautiful people. I feel the same way about the Cambodian rock music, Nigeria, Zambia, Somalia, Brazil, Jamaica, Thailand, Burma, Japan, South Korea. I'm glad it all has a presence in my life. Thank you for this movie!
A beautiful piece of work. For those that have lived the history and in the diaspora, it is a wonderful slice of history to be shared with the next generation. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED AND PARTICIPATED. TO ALL THE ARTISTS.
This short movie is mainly about three men. AMHA the great ethiopian producer.,Ghirma who was a great musician long ago both with Ras hotel band, Mulatu, and FInaly with the Wallias band. A good documentary. Much credit to a film maker from Poland who traveled to the U.S and Ethiopia to finish this film. JINKUYE.
It would have been better if its title was different, reflecting the story around the 3 people. It is due to its misleading title that people are asking about Mulatu et al. I myself was expecting there will be mentions of Maestro Narcis Nalbaldian, Mulatu or the Kibir Zebegna, Army or Police bands etc.. Btw, i feel that Francis was not big fan of Tilahun. Am i the only one who is feeling this way?
Listen guy this film. Is about ehtiopian music and mulatu and amha were the pioneers to make some kind of change. First by producing Lps long play disc's two by new modern arrangement ( kind of soul ethio jazz themes by the way one of my favorite arrangements of Gash Tilahun song is ye Tetntu Tz Alegn. It a blast mulatu on congas girma, Tesfa and his crew on horn it was the highlight of all. Now where did you get the story that Francis mulatu or any one did not admire gash Tilahun please don't create a false story. I can go on and on.
The song 4:30 is an Eritrean song by Eritrean artist Xehatu Beraki and many Eritrean like her made alot songs and it was famous in Ethiopia especially in North Ethopia and when when Eritrea was federated by the UN and US with Ethiopia, Eritrean started to infulnce Ethiopian mainly in north Ethiopia then the north ethopian started to influence the whole Ethiopia , one of the reason why Eritrean song popular they were under Italian before the federation with Ethiopia and the Italian influence them and the Eritrean started creating their own version.
Yeah, but I guess the documentary wanted to explore the "almost lost" works of Ethiopian music and it's artists. Also, Gash Mulatu is still performing in Addis and actively produces works as of now. Less could be said about the great musicians featured here
The reality is that this man used the obscurity of the music as a money making opportunity in a system that does not protect copyright. The vast majority of the music and history is missing from this. These older artists are touring now but they miss out on their true royalties. Mulatu probably refused to appear in the documentary because he looks at Buda Musique as leboch. Most Ethiopians are unaffected by the release of this music and are in a whole different musical world. There was a lot of darkness in the background of the making of the music.
your talking facts, an artist should and must get every royalty and credits they desi receive ... but at that point i this was z opportunity they have to push thier music , dont you think?

Ethiopian
It is wonderful history about Ethiopian music.Thank you so much👍🏽
simply thank you
Thanks for sharing ❤
Amazing documentary. I wonder, does anyone know why Mulatu Astatke doesn't get mentioned at all?
plenty of others were not mentioned lol
@@deesee3622 but mulatu is considered to be the father of ethio jazz, so its a valid question
Yeah, but I guess the documentary wanted to explore the "almost lost" works of Ethiopian music and it's artists. Also, Gash Mulatu is still performing in Addis and actively produces works as of now. Less could be said about the great musicians featured here
thanks
thanks a lot frances
merci !
does anyone know the song at 14:07 ????/?
"Chegirish bene alfoal" by Alemayehu Eshete. The spelling might not be exact because of how Amharic is typed in the Roman script.
where is the documentary from please?
Great document, I return to it with a growing sentiment and addiction!
