If you haven’t yet purchased or seen clips of the new Timeless concert series DVD, check out Mulatu Astatke‘s performance of “Yekermo Sew” above. Filmed last February, the concert took place at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex in Los Angeles, where musicians Miguel Atwood-Ferguson and Azar Lawrence joined the founder of Ethiopian jazz in performances of his songs, old and new. The likes of Damian Marley and Cut Chemist have paid homage to this legendary composer and musician with good reason.

The Timeless DVD box set is available on March 30 through Mochilla.

Astatke’s latest record Mulatu Steps Ahead is out in stores on March 30 through Strut Records.
