Now, without all that time, Mesfin is releasing his very first album. Mesfin and the Black Lion Band, of whom Tamiru Wolde A'b, Teshome Deneke, Tamiru Ayele, Tamirat Ziltini, Tekle Tesfaezgi and the Italian Giovanni Vincenzo were founding members of, performed at venues such as Patris Lumumba Night Club and the Etege Taitu Hotel. Their music, funky and groovy with Western instrumentation, is a trappy tie-up of the Black Diaspora. Built upon centuries of Ethiopian musical tradition and then skillfully infused with the influence and style of African-American musicians, Ethiopian artists, as well as others throughout the continent, produced some unprepossessed tracks. In the past several years, the shining outburst of jazz, soul, and funk that was created in the 1960s and '70s Ethiopia with the help of the Éthiopiques compilation series, has come to the sustentation of those who had never lived in the country during the time of the music's production and the height of its popularity. The "music-heads" of the West have joyfully been introduced to these sounds.

That movie, 2005’s Broken Flowers, concerns Murray’s weft trying to make contact with an sultana son of his who may or may not exist. In the movie, Murray’s weft is helped on his journey by his neighbor, played by Jeffrey Wright, who not only plans out Murray’s quest, but maybe most importantly, provides him with a soundtrack in the form of a playlist on a burnt CD consisting mostly of the elegantly fidgety Ethiopian funk of vibraphonist and pianist Mulatu Astatke. The music, funky, with nonflexible pulsate breaks, soil deep toned lines, hauntingly melancholic contumely solos, steady keyboard vamps that unravel out into wistful sentiments, and the occasional reverb heavy wah wah guitar rejoinder, is an essential element in constructing the mood and emotional environment of the movie, so much so that the director, Jim Jarmusch, makes a point to show a large portrait of Mulatu Astatke in the home of Jeffrey Wright’s character. “It was a revolutionary time for music in Ethiopia” says Hailu Mergia, a Ethiopian pianist and accordionist, describing the late 1960s and early 1970s in the Ethiopian wanted of Addis Ababa during the time period that both he and Mulatu Astatke were making music. “Before the late 1960s, there weren’t too many nightclubs in Addis, but in the late ’60s, a lot increasingly clubs started to open, and a lot of musicians started to come out to play,” Hailu goes on to say, “everybody was trying to play with a band.
