Yeshi Demelash is one of the few female jazz musicians in Ethiopia today and I must say she is holding her own. As much as I love traditional Ethiopian music it is refreshing to hear it here in a jazz context. The song from Demelash's debut album also titled Qene, was shot in black and white video with Demelash at center stage, surrounded by handsome men (her band) in top hats. It is all very vintage, down to the shooting location at Taitu the oldest hotel in Ethiopia. Yeshi Demelash is full of promise and her sophomore album which is in the works is something to look forward to.
