Mélat

A first-generation Ethiopian American and Austin native, Mélat carefully weaves her distinct worldview into her music through stories of love in all forms. The artist’s 2014 debut Move Me exudes staples of slinky melodies and featherlight vocals, while more recent cuts “The Lesson” and “Negn (I Am)” veer toward jazz and electrifying a cappella. She wraps the museum’s Third Thursdays summer concert series, offering extended hours from 5 to 8pm to view “The Harmon and Harriet Kelley Collection of African American Art: Works on Paper” exhibition, and make your own print with Flatbed Press. – Kriss Conklin
