Description

MEKLIT HADERO
Ethiopian-born Meklit (Muh-Kleet) is a Bay Area singer-songwriter who canvases a wide range of musical sounds. Named a TED Global Fellow in 2009, Meklit’s 2010 debut album, On A Day Like This…, combines folk and jazz strains in elegant songwriting, which set her off onto a world tour. Settling back into her San Francisco home, she embarked on a number of collaborations, first behind hip-hop project Copperwire’s Earthbound, and then returning to more soulful roots alongside Oakland artist Quinn DeVeaux for 2012’s Meklit & Quinn. Her new album, We Are Alive, is her most inventive album to date. Horns are prominently placed throughout the album, with longtime trumpeter Darren Johnston and guest trombonist Adam Theis punctuating the bouncing groove.
