Mulatu Astatke & The Heliocentrics - Chik Chikka

[@hakonmyrseth2712]

Mulatu & the Heliocentrics collabration is the greatest of all time. Its a masterpice and more like art than anything. For me it's a milestone in history of music.

No Bro, actually that's an indication that it's quality. The average person loves quantity over quality.

[@vivianetherin2877]

Does anyone know the name of the cello ?

[@clavicleofcernunnos]

Maybe Danny Keane? He plays cello on some Heliocentrics recordings and he's also on Mulatu's Sketches of Ethiopia album.

[@robertgergely8877]

8:10 synth

[@deafdave6468]

I love Mulatu's older stuff but the cello in this seems so out of place!! Brass/guitar or Fender Rodes could perhaps have been a substitute solo instrument. I love cello but I just dont think it belongs here!!

[@clavicleofcernunnos]

The Heliocentrics use cello on various non-collaborative material, and I believe there is also cello on the Mualtu & Heliocentrics album.

It would have made sense if you knew the original song. Asnaketch worku, Jerusalem
