This is the talented and beautiful Ethiopian-Israeli singer Ester Rada. She performed to a full-house at the Revival in Toronto as part of the Small World Music Festival in September.
These are some of her men; the band is an ensemble of great musicians. They played a lot of funky, jazzy grooves influenced by Ethiopian music.
They played an upbeat-er version of the upbeat "Nanu ney", a very popular Ethiopian song by Muluken Melesse, to which I grew up listening. The cherry on top!
