Fendika Cultural Center (at Hyatt Regency)
ፈንድቃ
Meskel Square$$⏱ 2-3 hours
Fendika, Addis's most storied azmari bet and home of dancer Melaku Belay's Ethio-jazz and eskista nights, lost its historic Kazanchis home to demolition in October 2024 — and re-emerged as Fendika @ Hyatt on Meskel Square. Expect improvised azmari praise-singing, traditional dance and drinks with dinner.
