Bio
Ethiopian born, San Francisco based singer Meklit (Muh-kleet) has confirmed the March 18 release of We Are Alive via Six Degrees Records, the follow up to her acclaimed 2010 debut In A Day Like This… Featuring 11 Meklit originals, as well as a cover of The Police’s “Bring On The Night” and a traditional Ethiopian tune “Kemekem.” The album was recorded to tape at New, Improved Studios in Oakland, California and runs a stylistic gamut from Ethiopian and Sudanese rhythms to New York jazz and San Francisco folk to Radiohead. Producer Eli Crews (tUnE-yArDs, Deerhoof, Geographer) helped guide the album’s spirit of innovation and sonic dexterity.
