Balkew Alemu’s Performance Out Now!
We’re thrilled to announce that, starting today, we’re releasing full performances from the 2023 and 2024 Addis Jazz Festival every two weeks on the Muzikawi YouTube channel!
The Addis Jazz Festival (AJF) is the flagship event of Muzikawi, Ethiopia’s leading music and event production company. As the only jazz festival of its kind in East Africa, AJF has become a cornerstone event, introducing jazz to Addis Ababa, promoting Ethio Jazz, and creating valuable networking opportunities for both local and international artists.
Since its inaugural event in 2019, the festival has grown significantly. Last year, the Swedish Embassy hosted our performances, while this year’s festival celebrated Africa Day at the African Jazz Village, showcasing an incredible lineup of talent from across the continent and beyond.
To kick off our bi-weekly video releases, we’re excited to present Balkew Alemu’s remarkable performances of “Felege,” “Yetizita Feres,” and “Zewditu” from the 2023 festival, which is available now! Don’t miss out—subscribe to the Muzikawi YouTube channel and enjoy the magic of the Addis Jazz Festival every two weeks!
