Khufus Ethiopiques: Live Ethio Jazz Of The 1970s

Khufu's Ethiopiques: Ethio Groove

Inspired by Afro-mystical grooves and the melodies of Mulatu Astatke. Wellington's finest play some of the golden tunes of the great Ethiopiques era.

Featuring Ben Lemi on drumkit, Justin Firefly Clarke on wah guitar, Lucien Johnson on sax, Tristan Carter on violin, Patrick Bleakley on bass, Dan Hayles on synth, and Andreas Lepper on percussion.

Upon hallucination, the Khufu ship sails again. Once sealed at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza (around 2500 BC) a vision appears on the horizon, a boat laden with treasures, and of silken sound-tapestries woven of etheric melodic threads.
