This Saturday, November 15, the energy of Addis Ababa Science and Technology University (AASTU) is set to explode onto the city's music scene as their homegrown talent, Jemberu Demeke, headlines the "JEMBERU" concert at Kana Warehouse.

 
Jemberu Demeke, a singer, rapper, and producer known for his unique "tonic fusion" a blend of Amharic rap, trap, and traditional Ethiopian scales isn't just a performer; he's AASTU's representative. His rise from a software engineering student to a celebrated artist has been a point of pride for the university community, who have mobilized in full force for the event.

 
The buzz around the campus is electric, with students viewing the concert as their chance to showcase AASTU's "unmatched energy" to the rest of the capital. The evening promises "Games, DJs, Giveaways, and Nonstop Vibes," all powered by the Tecno Spark brand, and perhaps most enticingly, the event offers free entry.

 
Jemberu Demeke has already made waves in the music industry, notably collaborating with Ethio-jazz legend Mulatu Astatke. His performance at Kana Warehouse this weekend is shaping up to be more than just a concert it's a massive, collective cheer for one of their own, proving that campus talent can light up the biggest stages in Addis.
