Father of Ethiopean jazz in Istanbul


Ethiopian musician Mulatu Astatke will perform in Istanbul and give a lecture on Ethiopian jazz culture as part of the Red Bull Music Academy Night on Sept. 1 in Kucukciftlik Park. The 71-year-old musician gained fame late in life when his work was used in Jim Jarmusch's 2005 film "Broken Flowers." Turkish groups joining Astatke include Buyuk Ev Ablukada, Insanlar and Ahu.
