MEKLIT HADERO

Meklit Hadero has catapulted into the public eye with several features and interviews on NPR, PBS, and National Geographic. Her music has two distinct elements: sultry jazz with stunning vocals and traditional Ethiopian songs with an Afro-beat punch. Born in Ethiopia, raised in the U.S., and nurtured by San Francisco’s richly diverse arts scene, the acclaimed singer embodies these worlds with a sound that is hers alone. A TED Global Fellow, she is also the founder of the Arba Minch Collective, a group of Ethiopian artists in Diaspora devoted to nurturing ties to their homeland through collaborating with both traditional and contemporary artists there. $15 advance/$18 door/Dome Theatre
