Meklit

Rescheduled

2021-22 Season: Saturday, May 21, 2022

In order to ensure the health and safety of our patrons and artists,
the Churchill Arts Council has postponed this performance.

Meklit, and her five-piece band, have rocked stages from Addis Ababa to San Francisco, New York to Nairobi, London to Arusha, Montreal to Cairo, and more. Her electric stage presence, her innovative take on Ethio-Jazz, and fiery, emotive delivery results in a killer live show. Her album, When the People Move, the Music Moves Too, released on Six Degrees Records, received rave reviews and reached #4 on the iTunes World Music Charts, #1 on the NACC World Charts and #12 on the World Charts in Europe. She has been featured on NPR, NY Magazine, PRI’s The World, BBC Africa, BBC World Service, BBC Women’s Hour, The New Yorker, AfroPop, The Village Voice, and more.
