Dates to come
An iconic figure on the especially dynamic ’70s Ethiopian jazz scene, the keyboardist, accordionist and arranger Hailu Mergia moved to Washington, D.C., where he experienced a period of difficulty, having to drive a taxi to make ends meet. A recent meeting with Shim Kovitz changed the trajectory of his life. Here’s our opportunity to rediscover the music of this 71-year-old musician, whose career is ready for its second act. An extraordinary artistic renaissance!
