I lived with Ethiopians in NYC throughout the 1980s and this was the soundtrack of our apartments. It brings back warm memories, of tea and cigarettes and shiro with wonder bread.
As a East African, I am glad many people are experiencing African tunes and sounds. Africa has many generes of music and some sounds you may recognize as there are western artists who added western components and harmonics to the original roots. I urge everyone to go on a music tour of all 54 African countires and to start all the way back and work your way down to todays date. You will hear sounds from various regions from instruments you never knew existed. Welcome to the beautiful world of music & Enjoy my friends! P.S. Do this to every single country on this planet, your soul will thank you.
Absolutely right cos music is international language! You don’t even have to understand the meaning of the lyrics. It just naturally flows into your soul! I can not imagine my life without music.🎉🎺🎹🎭🥁🎻🎸🎧 🎼🎤🥂🙏🏽✊🏽👍🏽
Thanks to putumayo a few years back I was introduced to people like Mama Sissoko and Tshala Muana and dozens of others from different countries. I feel as though my musical life has been enriched greatly. Apropos of nothing and yet everything I am a honky.
Hello from a 70 year old musician in Philly! I brought one of the Ethiopiques cd's into an ESL class I was teaching St. Paul where I had 2 or 3 (lovely) Ethiopian men, put my favorite cut on and one of them got this far away smile and started moving his shoulder in time. A beautiful moment...
Jazz from Ethiopia is magical, for it makes you fly. Like Icarus, but i have no want for the sun, for the jazz keeps me warm a plenty. Warm greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱!
@@Cacciatore_Raccoglitore as an Ethiopian we appreciate that😊 we're also known for long distance running.

Yes, not fighting each other but the current genocidal regime is installed by foreign powers to its biddings of destroying the ancient Orthodox societies of Ethiopia that so rich culturally , religiously and historically. Thank you for having us in your thoughts, peace to you all
Oh my goodness, I thought I knew music but you have schooled me. I had no clue that during that time when Miles Davis, Wes Montegomery, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and many more was bringing the vibe here in the states, I did not know that Ethiopia was sending that sultry jazz vibe as well. I am so grateful for this knowledge and have now began delving into this era in the one and only Ethiopia. Much appreciated!!
Jazz is not AFRICAN it is Black American we are different ethnic group ethiopians and other culture copy our music and they try to put their own tribal sound to it is it sounds silly just being honest and by the way ehtiopians are extremely racist towards Black Americans just speaking the truth hence why the spirit of this shit sounds awful@@blablablabla6213
There is actually a history of caribbeans and Black Americans going to Addis Ababa and setting up theaters and cabarets in the 1930s and some Black American soldiers helping to train Ethiopian pilots.
I am a jazz and African music lover, but had no clue about the hidden gem of Ethiopian Jazz, What?!? Wow, being of Greek heritage and growing up hearing Middle Eastern, Greek, and Turkish music, I definitely hear those melismas present in these tunes; I love it. Thank you for posting this and educating us all on this jazz art form.
@@brooktere7688 no they don't, ethiopia is literally one of the oldest countries in the world. Our music is not inspired from other countries, it is our own. And it is the only country in Africa to never be colonized. I have never heard anyone say that Ethiopian music is inspired from armenians or Greeks from any book or article...
My great grandfather was a jazz musician and I always did presentations on the world of jazz in school which bored all of my classmates. 😂 With that came the opportunity for a country boy to see the world beyond the Jim Crowe South. I knew jazz spread from America to Cuba, Brazil, China, and Paris but I never knew about Ethiopia. Thank you for this. I wish he were alive today for me to impress with this video.
Jazz was introduced to Ethiopians during the time black fighter pilots were there training them to fly. Charles Robinson, the father of Tuskegee became the Commander of the Ethiopian Air Force until his death in 1954 at the age of 51
@Maymaymaok No it did not. It came from American blacks. Jazz is considered the only true American art form. The jazz you hear in Africa is also due to travel and influence of African American pre and post World War. We also invented rock n roll. Country music is a descendent of blues music also started by American blacks. Jazz does have other influences with bass from our African ancestors and even classical music from Europe. However it is a unique American art form created by African Americans, We are descended from Africa but we have formed our own culture and arts. It does not take away from African’s contributions to music and the arts. However you only get various art forms when one group invents it from their own particular experiences and exposure to the world. That is very different for an African American vs an African.
As an Ethiopian is it so nice to see our music appreciated, Ethiopian Jazz is a hidden gem and I’m so glad it is being appreciated and discovered by more people. There is so much to celebrate about my country this being one of them, enjoy!
i used to spend a lot of time with a great friend of mine. we are software engineers and we used to work together throughout the night, start around 10pm and finish around 5am with chet baker, paul desmond, bill evans and similar jazz gods playing in the background.. then one day youtube recommended mulatu astatke.. that's how i got into ethiopian jazz. love it
In time I noticed that appreciation of jazz music to be intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. “Jazz is about being in the moment.” the older I get the more I like it .
Ooh this is fantastic. I was bored scrolling and when I saw the title I was intrigued. Thanks a million. I’m in hospital having a shit time and this really cheered me up. Liked and subbed, respect and love :)
Soul music. Is like food, but for our spirit. I'd like to thank you for that. Greetings from Brasil to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and to the whole african continent.
Hey folks. Only just realised this show had been uploaded to youtube! I thought it was only on the Noods Radio website. What a lovely surprise, and I'm really happy to see so many of you enjoyed it. Thank you for your kind words.
Back in the days when we had only one TV channel in the country, they used to play these tracks on loop before proper transmission began or when there was interruptions in regular programming - often for hours...
Discovering this in 2024, sometimes algorithm does amazing things. I am from India and recently getting to know about Ethiopian cuisine in Washington DC. And now this refreshing new world of music! 👌🏾
Jazz was born out of the cultural experience of African Americans and can be traced in a direct line to the slave songs of the plantations through the Negro Spirituals, Ragtime, and the Blues. [Jazz in America]
The combination of using African rhythm combined with European melody through instruments is what formed jazz, which is what anthropologists call cross pollination syncretism. [VIBE 105]
Jazz music was heavily influenced by the rhythms and melodies of African American spirituals, blues, and ragtime music, as well as the creole music of the Caribbean and Latin America. [IOM]

It's not a middle eastern vibe. It is an east African, specifically Ethiopian vibe. Ethiopian jazz utilizes four traditional pentatonic scales unique to Ethiopia. This is not middle eastern music.

This is music from my childhood. Reminds me of smoky traditional incense, with smoke everywhere on the house and djebena buna (traditonal ethiopian coffee ceremony). Simply stunning sound. Thank you for uploading this.
@@angelstarlight5038 They're talking about how Ethiopian jazz was influenced by American jazz (jazz first began in the USA). How is that hard to understand?
@@dandeluxe8731that's of course the normal way to look at it. But what is jazz if not an evolution of African rhythms (fused with Western harmony) from the black people of then?

What is the meaning of "boi"?
@@hawthorne3889it means “boy” but in a more familiar manner.
It’s like saying “friend”.
I only needed 5 seconds and it hit instantly for me
I literally rapped on a sample of the first song without knowing, that's wild
nostalgic and sometimes heartbreakingly beautiful.. always love this sound.
thankful for my history lesson today.
Ethiopian Golden Oldest Artists ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Damn God of universe
This is music from my childhood. Reminds me of smoky traditional incense, with smoke everywhere on the house and djebena buna (traditonal ethiopian coffee ceremony). Simply stunning sound. Thank you for uploading this.
THIS IS GOOOOOOOOOOLD !!!!!
J'adore le jazz d'Ethiopie!! Longtemps que je ne l'avais pas écouté , une merveille!!
Excellent sound quality... flawless arrangements and performanxes....
This jazz vibe is as cool as a bucket full of ice cubes!!☀️😎
This is very sweet and interesting. I didn't realize American music and culture had reach that far back then. Well done.
???
This is from Ethiopia..in Africa! No Americans here
@@angelstarlight5038 They're talking about how Ethiopian jazz was influenced by American jazz (jazz first began in the USA). How is that hard to understand?
@@dandeluxe8731 Next they'll try to pretend kpop isn't 90s rnb repackaged ( by the exact same producers ).
@@dandeluxe8731that's of course the normal way to look at it. But what is jazz if not an evolution of African rhythms (fused with Western harmony) from the black people of then?
Dang! This is pretty good. I had no idea. Cool stuff!
