TONIGHT’S PERFORMANCE

AvevA featuring DJ Lonely Creeper

sunset concerts_AvevA

Aveva Dese, is an Ethiopian-Israeli singer-songwriter who fuses traditional Ethiopian sounds & grooves with her soul-pop melodies, producing a unique style with universal appeal

As a first-generation immigrant from Ethiopia, AvevA brings a fascinating life story into her music.

She sings about society, freedom, and love, creating an inspiring and empowering experience.

Aveva’s 2nd album – “In My Thoughts”, was released in March 2019 and has received great reviews in the Israeli music scene. AvevA brings her own unique cultural flare to the table with her own style: a mix of powerful texts (in both English and Amharic) and traditional Ethiopian sounds. 

Originally discovered on the Israeli version of The Voice, Aveva has displayed her universal appeal on tours with Idan Raichel and with her original music at festivals across Israel, Europe, and North America.

Celebrating its twenty-sixth season, this year’s Sunset Concerts showcase artists hailing from Jewish, African, and Cuban diasporas. Through their captivating performances, we explore the intertwining threads of music that connect us to the past and foster cultural unity, inspiring hope for a harmonious future.

To make the most of your evening, arrive early and indulge in delicious food, drinks, and shopping opportunities. You can also take the time to explore our fascinating exhibitions, adding depth to your cultural experience.

The best part? Admission to the concerts is absolutely FREE! However, for parking, there will be a nominal fee of $20 upon arrival, but you can avail of a discounted rate of $15 with advance purchase. Skirball Members can take advantage of an even lower rate of $5 with advance purchase. We encourage you to carpool, rideshare, or use public transportation like Metro to make your journey even more sustainable and enjoyable.

Come one, come all, and let the Sunset Concerts enchant you with melodies and rhythms that will stay with you long after the night ends!
