The prestigious Ethiopiques series returns! Before "Swinging Addis" took over the world, there was Moussie Nerses Nalbandian - the Armenian-born composer who shaped modern Ethiopian music.

Mentor, arranger, and pioneer, he laid the foundations of Ethio-jazz. This Ethiopiques volume revives his forgotten legacy, recorded live with the Either/ Orchestra. First issue ever with new exclusive photos.

'Ethiopiques 32: Nalbandian the Ethiopian' brings to life music by Nerses Nalbandian, an Armenian refugee who moved to Ethiopia in 1938 and rose to become the favourite musician of Emperor Haile Selassie. An eclectic musician with a great love for American music, he was essential in the creation of Ethiopian jazz, leading the Orchestra of the National Theater, configured as a jazz big band and featuring many of the future solo stars of Ethiopia.
