Anyone seen Astatke live? He's playing Montreal in May, but I only know his older stuff

thanks man, I also looked up some youtube clips and they were great. Ethiopiques 4 is an all-time classic record for me, so I'm not sure why I even hesitated

The show last night was fantastic! I've always been hesitant to see legacy acts, but this made me rethink that--so powerful to hear these songs I've been listening to for about 15 years played with spontaneity and tons of energy (his touring band, none of whose names I caught, are all great).
