New York (TADIAS) – Jano Band delivered another exciting version of its trademark stage performance during the group’s second New York appearance on Wednesday, August 28th at Ginny’s Supper Club in Harlem, where the team’s pioneering fusion of rock music and Ethiopian cultural melodies received attention from local residents and representatives of major labels. The band was hosted at the uptown venue by Marcus Samuelsson and his wife Model Maya Haile while on tour promoting their debut album Ertale produced by Bill Laswell.

Jano band also paid tribute to Ethiopian Reggae Singer Eyob Mekonnen who recently passed away with a rendition of the artist’s popular song.

Jano began their first American tour on July 4th at the historic Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C., and subsequently at S.O.B’s in New York City on Friday, August 16th. The group now heads to other major U.S. cities including Atlanta this weekend (September 1st), Oakland (September 7th), Las Vegas (September 10th), and Los Angeles (September 14th).

Below are photos from the Harlem event.
