A Piece of Infinity, the latest album by Meklit, is an invitation
to think, to love, and to groove. Celebrating the rich musical
traditions of Ethiopia, the Addis-born, San Francisco based
vocalist, songwriter, and composer molds folk tunes from a
multitude of communities and cultures throughout Ethiopia into
jazz-inflected fantasies imbued with warmth and reverence. At
its center is Meklit’s voice, which soars and whispers, intoning
strength and devotion in Kembatigna, Amharic, Oromigna, and
English. From songs of longing and love to children’s riddles and
original compositions, Meklit traverses expansive sonic ground
that offers just a glimpse at the infinite complexity of Ethiopian
culture. Featuring guest appearances by harpist Brandee Younger
and flutist Camille Thurman and recorded at San Francisco’s
Women’s Audio Mission.
