Kinobe Herbert is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter from Uganda, who leads his listeners into the soul of African music with traditional instruments, songs, and stories from his homeland. His shows feature the kora, kalimba, tama, and an array of traditional percussive instruments, all crafted and brought to life by his skilled hands.

"When it comes to traditional and contemporary Ugandan music, he is not only one of the youngest flag bearers but also one of the best." - UG Pulse

If Joni Mitchell were East African and met Nina Simone for tea in San Francisco's Mission District, she might end up sounding like Meklit Hadero.

"Hadero's sound is a unique blend... there's jazz, there's Ethiopia, there's artsy San Francisco scene and a dollop of visceral poetry that paints pictures in your head as you listen." - NPR
