Chikchika brings a new, deep, sonic groove to the Tramway for Leaps and Bounds Festival.

Chikchika (formerly Music Yared) features Haftu Reda and Anbessa Gebrehiwot originally from the Tigray region of Ethiopia with renowned Oromo singer, Muluu Baqqalaa. Singing about love, distance, separation and culture, their songs are accompanied by the traditional instruments for this unique, intimate performance.

With a focus on their East African cultural heritage, Chikchika embraces new sonic territories with a beautiful modesty, camaraderie and a deep groove.

Catch Chikchika performing at The Tramway Hotel on Saturday 25 June.

Chikchika’s latest single “Abichu” is out everywhere now.
