Late night listening: Mulatu Astatke - Ethiopiques Vol. 4. My former colleague Eli Smith (founder of the Brooklyn Folk Festival) gave me a CD-R of this music 16 or 17 years ago. I promptly filed it on a shelf where it sat unlistened to, until tonight. Bad job by me! But better late than never. Marvelous '60s jazz from Ethiopia. Late night hooka lounge vibes to the max.

@jasonisaacdrums killer stuff! Better late than never, right? This is another fun one if you're digging his stuff.
