Singer Davido Performs At Ethiopia’s 2017 New Year Ceremony

Award winning Afrobeat singer David Adeleke, best known as Davido, recently performed at the Ethiopia New Year party as the country enters 2017.

As seen in a video trending on social media on Wednesday, thousands of Ethiopians trooped out at the event in Addis Ababa, the country’s capital, celebrating their unique new year.

To the surprise of many fans on social media, Ethiopia is seven years behind the rest of the world, rightly so, because the country follows its unique calendar system, known as the Ethiopian calendar or Ge’ez calendar.
