Opening Night

AVEVA MUSIC

The Festival kicks off with the US debut of Israeli Afro-Soul stars AvevA Music, who filter Tel Aviv’s urban beat through traditional Ethiopian sounds, R&B, funk, and pop.

Lead singer Aveva Dese effortlessly swings between Amharic and English, commanding attention with a singular voice that skips from lilting playfulness to plaintive soulfulness without ever missing a beat.
