Hailu Mergia opening select Beirut dates (Radio City tonight)

Hailu Mergia

Beirut is on tour now in support of this year’s No No No on 4AD, and that tour lands at NYC’s Radio City Music Hall tonight (10/1). They’ve got a pretty special guest opening tonight’s show and a few others, Ethiopian funk musician Hailu Mergia who’s been having a resurgence since the 2013 reissue of his 1985 album Hailu Megia and His Classical Instrument. If you’re going to Radio City tonight, don’t miss his set. Tickets are still available.
