Many of you will remember the wonderful show in 2006 at the Berklee Performance Center, combining Ethiopian traditional music, Ethio-pop and Ethio-jazz. This will be a reprise, plus we'll have the presence of our Ethiopian "uncle" - Mulatu Astatke, who will be spending the coming academic year in Cambridge as a Radcliffe Fellow.


Hana is a terrific singer, Setegn a virtuoso of the masinko (one-string violin) and Minale plays the meaning krar (lyre) this side of Addis. Hana is sure to bring a dazzling array of traditional garb from Ethiopia, and change costumes at least eight times!
