  • Ethiopia’s Henok Mehari working with Cynthia Morgan at Coke Studio

    Nine years after he last toured Kenya, Ethiopian singer and producer Henok Mehari is back in Nairobi to take part in the continental TV show Coke Studio Africa, where he will collaborate with Nigeria’s Cynthia Morgan on a unique fusion of Ethiopian and Nigerian music.

    Music In Africa spoke to Henok recently to find out more about his work.

    “It feels great to be back in Nairobi!" he said. "My participation at Coke Studio Africa is really timely. After the release of my album 790, I have been encouraging my band the Mehari Brothers that we need to forge newer working relations with other artists outside Ethiopia. Coke Studio Africa is thus a timely opportunity to explore and find out what other artists are doing and how we can work together.”

    While in Kenya, Henok will collaborate with Nigerian singer Cynthia Morgan, whose music is a fusion of pop, hip-hop and dancehall. She shot into limelight following the release of two hit singles, ‘Don't Break My Heart’ and ‘Lead Me On’, which received massive airplay and positive reviews.

    Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes said in the capital, Brasilia, that the 10 were being held on two terrorism-related charges and that two more people were being sought. Authorities said any attack plan would have had little chance of coming to fruition, citing the group's lack of resources and skills. But officials and security experts argued that police were justified in being aggressive in light of "lone wolf" attacks staged in the U.S. and Europe by men with little or no training.
