You hear the lilting strains of a ney flute intermingling with the rhythmic beat of a traditional drum. Dancers adorned in colorful Habesha kemis (traditional Ethiopian dresses) twirl gracefully, their movements mirroring the ancient stories and folklore that have been passed down through generations.
Xavier himself will take center stage, captivating you with his powerful vocals and signature blend of traditional and modern sounds. Expect to hear beloved classics reimagined with a contemporary twist, alongside original compositions that celebrate the beauty and resilience of Ethiopian culture.
