I first heard Meklit Hadero some years ago at a KFOG concert. We got to see her with Quinn DeVeaux at Yoshi’s this past Tuesday. What a treat! The show was largely covers of songs of which I was unfamiliar. The duo had an endearing and playful chemistry. They complemented each other with music, part soul, jazz, folk, was heartfelt and just infectiously delightful. Her clear voice hit on notes in a playful and commanding way, while Quinn’s smoky voice went well with New Orlean’s jazzy notes. It was inspiring to see someone who loves to do what they do and share it with others. As their poster quotes Matthew Forss review: “The music is not rock or folk; it’s just good music with good instrumentation. It’s that simple … and delectable.”
We got to meet the artists
afterwards but the best was meeting Meklit’s father who came from Florida with
his girlfriend. He was such a happy and proud father.
