Muzikawi レコード& CD

Review: Jorga Mesfin's debut album marks a significant milestone in the realm of Ethio-jazz, showing his exceptional talent as a saxophonist and composer. Under the mentorship of the legendary Mulatu Astatke, Mesfin takes a courageous leap into spiritual experimentation, fusing elements from various traditions within Ethiopian music and jazz. Widely acclaimed as one of Ethiopia's most talented contemporary musicians, Mesfin's journey began at the age of 17, leading to collaborations with esteemed artists such as Mahmoud Ahmed, Aster Aweke, and Vijay Iyer. His residency at Astatke's African Jazz Village in Addis Ababa further shaped his musical prowess. With this debut album, Mesfin continues to push the boundaries of Ethio-jazz, cementing his position as a visionary in the genre.
