Gash Mulatu,

You are our pride. When we listen to your classic works such as the soundtrack in the movie Broken Flowers, we are reminded of our childhood (20 years ago) because we knew those compositions from Ethiopian radio.

There is a huge amount of attention on Gash Mulatu Astatke’s music right now. I’m so proud everytime I step into a bookstore or cafe and hear those familiar notes. It used to be that you’d only hear Ethiopian music in an Ethio-owned place but now I actually have non-Ethiopian friends who own Gash Mulatu’s CDs. He’s definitely got a major following. We Ethiopians are so proud of you, Gash Mulatu. Thank you for shedding light on our fantastic culture with your amazing music.
