New York (TADIAS) — Queen of Ethiopian pop music, Aster Aweke, will perform live at the legendary B.B. King Blues Club in New York next month. Aster will become the second Ethiopian musician ever to grace the world-famous stage following the superstar Teddy Afro’s memorable “Tikur Sew World Tour” concert last year at the acclaimed Manhattan venue. Organizers say Ras Band will accompany Aster during her show, which is scheduled for February 7th.

B.B. King notes that “for more than 30 years, singer/songwriter Aster Aweke has been entertaining audiences across the globe. Her songs have become anthems to her fans in Ethiopia, as well as to Ethiopians living abroad, and she continues to win the hearts and minds of world music lovers. Ewedihalehu (I Love You), her 24th album, was produced with her longtime arranger, Abegasu Kibrework Shiota, and also features the work of exciting new music producers, Henock Negash, and [Kamuzu]. This electrifying album is sure to delight long-time and new fans alike.”
