Don’t miss the LA debut of Gili Yalo, performing a rich patchwork of contemporary soul, funk, psychedelic rock, and traditional Ethiopian music at the Skirball’s Sunset Concerts season finale. Singing in both English and Amharic, the Tel Aviv–based musician draws inspiration from his experience as an Ethiopian Jewish refugee to create vibrant music that represents his personal triumph. The result gives new meaning to traditional Ethiopian music.
