Fendika's flagship Friday cultural night, now at its Hyatt Regency stage near Meskel Square: DJ sets of golden-era Ethiopian vinyl from around 9 pm, then Melaku Belay's Ethiocolor band — three generations of traditional musicians, singers and eskista dancers — taking over about 10 pm. Historically Fridays alternated between Ethiocolor and Teferi Assefa's Ethio-jazz band Negarit, though every dated 2026 show found so far features Ethiocolor. Recurring night — which band plays Sep 4 isn't individually announced, so check @fendikaculturalcenter on Instagram that day.
