New York (Tadias) – Singer-songwriter Sheba Sahlemariam will return to New York City’s Joe’s Pub this coming weekend. The Ethiopian-born artist will be accompanied by the Judah Tribe reggae band.

The upcoming event follows a promising year for the singer’s budding musical career after the remix of her song, Love This Lifetime, garnered wide attention and was featured on MTV UK and VH-1 Soul, as well as hitting the charts in Jamaica and England. The YouTube hit made the top 30 UK Club Charts and captured the number one spot on Jamaica’s weekly music countdown by Richie B. It also received air time as the number one song on Ethiopia-Afro FM.

What do you get when you mash up the majesty of Africa, the island vibes of the Caribbean, New York City’s concrete jungle and shake it like a Molotov Cocktail? Welcome to the world of Sheba; a feisty, dynamic singer/rhymer/songwriter/producer ready to explode your ipod with hot beats, clever, provocative lyrics, wicked flow, melodic catchy hooks and a diva-worthy four octave range.
