✨ An unforgettable night ✨
Yesterday we had the honour of hosting the legendary Mulatu Astatke @astatkemulatu on his sold-out farewell tour.

The father of Ethio-jazz filled our stage with timeless grooves, deep rhythms, and a spirit that will echo long after the last note.

We were also proud to see Siegfried @siegfriedhart for the pre-show, a true part of BIRD’s history, whose sound has been intertwined with our stage from the very beginning. A beautiful way to celebrate both the roots and the future of music at BIRD.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating this historic night. ❤️🎶Powered by @birdfest

The festival was supported by renowned Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in ornithology, including:
