ABOUT THIS SHOW

Summer at The Cedar #3 - Abinnet Berhanu?s Ahndenet ????? featuring Genet Abate

ABINNET BERHANU?s AHNDENET ?????

Drummer & Composer Abinnet Berhanu?s Ahndenet ????? (meaning: Unity) pays respect to Ethiopian folk, pop, and instrumental music, exploring the unique musical cultures that span northern and southern Ethiopia.

Ahndenet and the music this incredible group plays is based on the concept of the bahil bet or culture house that combines song, dance and theatre to tell the stories of the different ethnic groups that make up Ethiopia.

Ahndenet expands on this idea, highlighting the different cultures and generations that make up what we know as modern Ethiopian music and aims to further build on that legacy in the diaspora.

This performance features Ethiopian vocalist Genet Abate who has been active in the Ethiopian American music community performing regularly across the country at Ethiopian clubs and festivals.
