Our Take
Mulatu Astatke & Hoodna Orchestra's latest release, Tension, is a delightful fusion of traditional Ethiopian jazz and modern funk that will have you grooving from start to finish. Astatke, known as the father of Ethio-jazz, teams up with the vibrant Hoodna Orchestra to create a dynamic sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. The album kicks off with the sultry saxophone melodies of "Sintayehu", setting the tone for the rest of the record. Tracks like "Tezeta" and "Tension" showcase Astatke's signature vibraphone skills, weaving intricate rhythms with catchy brass hooks that will leave you tapping your feet in no time. But it's not all serious business on Tension - the playful interplay between Astatke's laid-back vibes and Hoodna Orchestra's energetic grooves make for a truly enjoyable listening experience. "Awakening" stands out as a standout track, with its pulsating bassline and infectious horn section. Overall, Mulatu Astatke & Hoodna Orchestra's Tension is a must-listen for fans of world music and jazz fusion. With its infectious energy and masterful musicianship, this album is sure to leave you in a state of pure musical bliss. So grab a glass of your favourite Ethiopian honey wine and press play - you won't be disappointed.
