New York (TADIAS) — Up-and-coming Ethiopian-Israeli Singer Ester Rada will perform live at Madison Square Park in New York on Wednesday, June 25th as part of the public park’s free outdoor summer concerts series.
The artist, who is currently promoting her debut album, is described by critics as “gracefully combining Ethio-Jazz, Urban-funk, Neo-Soul and R&B.” She has been nominated for the MTV EMA awards “Best Israeli Act,” cementing her rise into the international soul music world.
“With musical influences such as Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald and Aretha Franklin, Rada has a unique take on soul that has already earned her recognition globally,” states the event’s announcement. “Since the release of her EP Life Happens, Rada’s popularity has boomed and she has successfully toured the US, Canada, and Europe, as well as showcased at the highly respected Glastonbury Festival.”
