DESCRIPTION:TED Senior Fellow Meklit Hadero performs at Mayne Stage!\n&ld
 quo\;Hadero&rsquo\;s sound is a unique blend of jazz\, Ethiopia\, the Sa
 n Francisco art scene and visceral poetry\; it paints pictures in your h
 ead as you listen.&rdquo\; NPR\nInvited to open for Angelique Kidjo at t
 he University Musical Society in Ann Arbor\, MI on Feb 1 2012. This will
  be on the tale end of her January residency in Luxor\, Egypt\, in antic
 ipation of her Nile Project (touring summer 2013). Born in Ethiopia\, ra
 ised in the U.S. and nurtured by San Francisco&rsquo\;s richly diverse a
 rts scene\, this acclaimed singer embodies worlds. Joining her soul-fill
 ed phrasing to a songwriter&rsquo\;s craft\, her music&rsquo\;s influenc
 es range wide &ndash\; from the jazz and soul favorites she grew up on\;
  to the hip-hop and art-rock she loves\; to folk traditions from the Ame
 ricas and her forebears&rsquo\; East African home. But this singular art
 ist&rsquo\;s sound\, drawn of multitudes\, is hers alone.\nNamed a TED G
 lobal Fellow in 2009\, Meklit has served as an artist-in-residence at Ne
 w York University\, the De Young Museum\, and the Red Poppy Art House. M
 eklit has also completed musical commissions for the San Francisco Found
 ation and for theatrical productions staged by Brava! For Women in the A
 rts. She is the founder of the Arba Minch Collective\, a group of Ethiop
 ian artists in diaspora devoted to nurturing ties to their homeland thro
 ugh collaborating with both traditional and contemporary artists there.\
 n&ldquo\;Soulful\, tremulous and strangely cinematic\, Hadero&rsquo\;s v
 oice will implant scenes in your mind &mdash\; a softly lit supperclub\,
  a Brooklyn stoop\, a sun-baked road. Close your eyes\, listen and dream
 .&rdquo\; &ndash\; Lynn Jacobson\, Seattle Times
