Meklit Hadero

two nights

Born in Ethiopia, raised in the U.S., and nurtured by San Francisco’s richly diverse arts scene, this acclaimed singer embodies multiple worlds. Connecting her soulful phrasing to a songwriter’s craft, her music’s influences range widely— from the jazz and soul favorites she grew up on, to the hip-hop and art-rock she loves, to folk traditions from the Americas and her East African roots. But this singular artist’s sound, drawn of multitudes, is hers alone. Hailed by Filter magazine for combining “New York jazz with West Coast folk and African flourishes, all bound together by Hadero’s beguiling voice,” Meklit is an irresistible artist who becomes even more compelling with repeat listening.
