San Francisco-based, Ethiopian-born singer-songwriter Meklit Hadero and her band join us live in the studio to play from her new album, “A Piece of Infinity.” The album reimagines folk songs from across Ethiopia, blending her signature Ethio-jazz style with R&B, synth and other genres. We’ll talk about the stories the album tells and bask in her rich, expressive vocals.

Guests:

Meklit Hadero, Ethio-Jazz singer and composer

Sam Bevan, upright bass

Colin Douglas, drums

Howard Wiley, tenor saxophone

Kibrom Berhane, keyboard and krar
