Washington, D.C. (TADIAS) – The iconic Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C. is hosting an Ethiopian concert during Memorial Day weekend. Singers Mahmoud Ahmed and Gosaye Tesfaye are scheduled to perform on Saturday, May 26th. Organizers say the duo will be the first Ethiopian musicians to grace the historic venue.

The Howard Theatre was built in 1910, and has featured almost every major African American entertainer in the country. It closed its doors in 1980 during an economic downturn, but re-opened last month following a $29 million renovation.
