Girma Beyene and Feedel Band - New Years Day Benefit Concert
Celebrate New Years Day with Girma Beyene and Feedel Band at Bossa Bistro in the heart of Adams Morgan. This concert with also help raise funds to get Girma and Feedel Band to New York City for the annual APAP conference (Association of Performing Arts Presenters) which is held each January in New York City. The conference is the world's largest networking forum and marketplace for performing arts professionals. More than 3,600 presenters, artists, managers, agents and emerging arts leaders from all 50 states more than 33 countries convene in the city for five days of professional development, business deals and exciting performances.

Girma and Feedel Band will play Electric Cowbell and Barbes showcase called Secret Planet at Drom nightclub. We are confident that this trip will expose the Girma and Feedel to an appreciative audience who can assist in spreading their amazing music to a wider audience worldwide. Since the event is a promotinal effort by the artists, we are hoping to raise funds and awareness at Bossa on New Years Day.

If you are unable to attend the concert but would still like to contribute to the mission, you can simply purchase a ticket from our advance ticket link and the money will go straight to the group.

Girma Beyene is one of the most influential arrangers of Ethiopian music from the Golden Era of the 1960s and 70s when local musicians combined African rhythms with American R & B, soul, funk and big band jazz. Girma was a lyricist, a music writer, arranger, vocalist, an accomplished pianist and finally a bandleader. According to Ethiopiques' Series producer Francis Falceto, Girma left a greater mark on the "swinging Addis" scene as an arranger than his better known colleague Mulatu Astatke. Girma is also the composer of Muziqawi Silt, the most covered Ethiopian tune of all time. There has been a regain of interest for Girma Beyene in Europe and now in the US. He will be backed by the Feedel Band, a Washington DC-based band made up of former members of some Addis Ababa greatest bands, including the legendary Walias band and Aster Aweke.
