The work of Zerihun is exceptional, colourful and has an intoxicating spiritual dimension that defines it as unique. Abebe Zegeye, Primedia chair & Professor of Sociology at the University of South Africa, confirms this in the foreword where he states that Zerihun has a talent 'for transposing traditional motifs of Ethiopian Christianity - its legends, magical practices, belief in spirits and demons and 'evil eyes' - into contemporary art." As early as the late 60s and early 70s, Zerihun's name began to emerge in art circles. This period became known as the Renaissance Period of Ethiopian Art; Zerihun's mystical artworks became the epitome of this significant phase. Zerihun 's trademark is his "Magic Scroll" paintings, framed on pieces of wood from weavers' tools and strips of parchments he assembled, so that his artworks have been displayed in many museums.

Mulatu was the first Ethiopian jazz music-maker to study abroad and thus be exposed to Western musical trends. When he returned to Addis Ababa he pursued his dream of drawing on the musical heritage of his homeland a heritage that has been buffeted by Ethiopia s turbulent history to produce a unique, compelling blend of music: Ethiopian sounds with a twist . In the late 1960 s, his Ethio jazz introduced, among other new ideas, the Afro-Latin soul where he played conga, piano, vibraphone and innovative musical arrangements. These included compositions of popular Ethio jazz music which took on a modern, funk, jazz-infused quality that soon had recording companies knocking at his door.
