Movement Live: Meklit Hadero

Movement LIVE combines the energy of a concert with the intimacy of storytelling, in a podcast come to life. As the live component of a transmedia storytelling initiative — the project lives at the crossroads of migration and music, exploring a world in motion, redefining identity and what it takes to call a place home. Directed by acclaimed Indian-American theater director Sophiyaa Nayar, Movement LIVE hits listeners at the level of the hips, the heart, and the head. The performance is led by Ethiopian-American musician and cultural strategist Meklit Hadero, who for this show is joined by three Los Angeles-based guest artists: Mexican-American songwriter and performance artist San Cha, Palestinian-American oud virtuoso Clarissa Bitar, and Cambodian vocalist and Songwriter Chhom Nimol (of Dengue Fever).
