Forum from the Archives: Meklit Hadero Reimagines Ethiopian Folk Songs

 (Petri Anttila)

Airdate: Wednesday, July 1 at 9 AM

San Francisco-based, Ethiopian-born singer-songwriter Meklit Hadero and her band joined us live in the studio in January 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. As part of our week-long celebration of Bay Area music, well listen back to the performance and conversation.

Guests:

Meklit Hadero, Ethio-Jazz singer and composer

Sam Bevan, upright bass

Colin Douglas, drums

Howard Wiley, tenor saxophone

Kibrom Berhane, keyboard and krar
