Meklit Hadero, an extraordinary singer and contributor to the Mission Arts and Performance Project, will be performing with bass accompaniment. “Meklit Hadero, a jazz singer from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, is an artistic giant in the early stages. Just 25, she's a Mission District newcomer who moved from Germany to the United States at age 1 and graduated recently from Yale. She's performed just a few times, has no album and no contract and, she says, is in no rush. She sings of fragility, hope and self-empowerment, and exudes all three. What's irresistible, above all, is her cradling, sensuous, gentle sound. She is stunning.” - Daniel King, SFGate
