Oh my goodness, I thought I knew music but you have schooled me. I had no clue that during that time when Miles Davis, Wes Montegomery, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock and many more was bringing the vibe here in the states, I did not know that Ethiopia was sending that sultry jazz vibe as well. I am so grateful for this knowledge and have now began delving into this era in the one and only Ethiopia. Much appreciated!!

As a East African, I am glad many people are experiencing African tunes and sounds. Africa has many generes of music and some sounds you may recognize as there are western artists who added western components and harmonics to the original roots. I urge everyone to go on a music tour of all 54 African countires and to start all the way back and work your way down to todays date. You will hear sounds from various regions from instruments you never knew existed. Welcome to the beautiful world of music & Enjoy my friends! P.S.

There is actually a history of caribbeans and Black Americans going to Addis Ababa and setting up theaters and cabarets in the 1930s and some Black American soldiers helping to train Ethiopian pilots.

In time I noticed that appreciation of jazz music to be intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. “Jazz is about being in the moment.” the older I get the more I like it .

My great grandfather was a jazz musician and I always did presentations on the world of jazz in school which bored all of my classmates. 😂 With that came the opportunity for a country boy to see the world beyond the Jim Crowe South. I knew jazz spread from America to Cuba, Brazil, China, and Paris but I never knew about Ethiopia. Thank you for this. I wish he were alive today for me to impress with this video.

@carrington2949

@Maymaymaok No it did not. It came from American blacks. Jazz is considered the only true American art form. The jazz you hear in Africa is also due to travel and influence of African American pre and post World War. We also invented rock n roll. Country music is a descendent of blues music also started by American blacks. Jazz does have other influences with bass from our African ancestors and even classical music from Europe. However it is a unique American art form created by African Americans, We are descended from Africa but we have formed our own culture and arts. It does not take away from African’s contributions to music and the arts. However you only get various art forms when one group invents it from their own particular experiences and exposure to the world. That is very different for an African American vs an African.
