City Stages: Gili Yalo
Fri, 9/7, 7:30–9:00 p.m.
Location: The Cleveland Museum of Art, Nord Family Greenway
Combining Ethiopian roots music with a modern touch of jazz and soul, Tel Aviv-based Gili Yalo incorporates traditional sound into the music of right now. Yalo’s family was part of the migration to Israel of Ethiopian Jews fleeing famine in Sudan; the music encouraged Gili and his family to keep moving forward in this exhausting, emotional journey. City Stages is presented by the Cleveland Museum of Art and FRONT International.
