The Hackney Colliery Band with Mulatu Astatke and Pete Wareham

JumokΓ© Fashola presents a Christmas party special with The Hackney Colliery Band, Ethiopian percussionist and vibraphonist Mulatu Astatke and UK saxophonist Pete Wareham.

JumokΓ© Fashola presents a Christmas party special with The Hackney Colliery Band. The London-based band set out ten years ago to reinvent the traditional brass band and feature a genre-bending combination of brass, reeds, percussion and electronics. The band were joined on the night by percussionist and vibraphonist Mulatu Astatke and saxophonist Pete Wareham, who both feature on the band's 2019 release Collaborations Vol.1. Astatke is regarded as the godfather of Ethio-jazz, a pioneering fusion of Ethiopian musics, jazz and funk. A celebrated saxophonist, Wareham has been a driving force behind some of the UK's most exciting jazz outfits in recent times: Melt Yourself Down, Polar Bear and Pulled By Magnets.

Produced by Thomas Rees for Somethin' Else.
