The Cazino Lounge and Gallery was proud to present Aster Aweke this past week. Her voice, always amazing, has a power and presence that never fails to hold an audience spellbound. Her personality offstage is just as impressive as it is when she is performing.
I enjoyed comparing notes with her on the creative process. She says that her inspiration in musical creation comes in a "flash," which matches my experience in the visual arts.
I'm looking forward to collaborating with her in Ethiopia in the future.
