Bobby Carter | February 14, 2024
Months before he released Amén (The Nomad's Dream), Atlanta singer Berhana shared his Tiny Desk vision with me: He wanted to pay homage to his roots with Ethiopian jazz pianist Kibrom Birhane and members of the Ethio Cali band to showcase their authentic take on East African rhythms. Draped in a traditional Ethiopian scarf at the Tiny Desk, he incorporates those elements to a T.
So much of the genre-fluid Amén is about personal growth and finding home. His first trip to Ethiopia was the driving force behind the new project, but the storytelling prowess is carried over from 2019's HAN. Before closing his set with "Going Home," he expressed his gratitude for the moment. "It's because we live within this confined amount of time, that we're able to find meaning," he says. "I've been trying to accept that a little bit more and be grateful for the little moments like this that I get to share with you guys right now."

  • He deserves more recognition provided there are still not many artists who sing WELL and rap too. Berhana really has given a very effortless feel to rnb. I mean I could listen to him all day.

  • I was looking for words to impart how lucky I felt hearing this musician I hadn't heard before, here; and then he dedicated the last song, to being grateful for life's small moments that are intrinsically more special because of the limited time and attention we all have here.. That made me treasure this even more. SO glad to have found a new musician with so much talent, and magic

  • Such a great band. Berhana's a fine singer - but this band! R&B sounds so much better with a real band. There's a feel and humanity and soulfulness here, with these genuine musicians, that programming and sampling cannot get. And that pianist is killer - jazzers generally also make the best pop musicians, and that is clear here.
