The Grammy nominee was in Ethiopia on September 11, 2024, to perform in a sold-out show as the country entered the year 2017 which is 7 years behind the global Gregorian calendar. The superstar performed several of his popular songs including hits from his record-breaking fourth album ‘Timeless’.
Ethiopian celebration of a new year on September 11 is due to its Orthodox Tewahedo calendar which has 13 months and is one of the calendars different from the Gregorian calendar which is the most widely used in the world.
