Gili Yalo is one of the most intriguing musicians in Israel’s world music scene. Combining his Ethiopian musical roots with soul, reggae, funk, psychedelia and jazz, Gili’s soulful voice has elicited comparisons to Bob Marley. Backed by his powerhouse band, Gili’s concerts generate an entrancing groove, beat, and flow, with exceptional, rich, vivid melody and original lyrics in English, Hebrew and Amharic.
Chutzpah! Audiences will remember Gili from his breakout 2015 performance with Zvuloon Dub System.
Come celebrate Rosh Hashanah with us as we welcome Gili and his band to Vancouver!
Chutzpah!’s live music programming is supported by a grant from AmplifyBC.
