Dans le paysage musical éthiopien, Mulato Astaqé (ou Astake) est une personnalité totalement à part. Depuis 30 ans, il est une sorte d'incontournable commandeur dont la statue virtuelle pèse de toute son ombre sur la scène éthiopienne. La vraie singularité de ce musicien, arrangeur, compositeur, innovateur, métisseur et organisateur réside foncièrement dans son action pour la musique instrumentale en un pays où tradition et culture musicales y sont étrangères. In the Ethiopian musical world, Mulatu Astaqé (ou Astake) is atypical and unique. For 30 years he has been an inescapable presence, a virtual statue casting a long shadow over the Ethiopian scene.The singularity of this musician- arranger-composer-innovator-melder of influences-organiser resides in his efforts in favour of instrumental music — in a country where musical culture and tradition are strangers to it.
