 Davido performs at Ethiopia’s 2017 new year ceremony


Popular Afrobeat singer David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, recently performed at the Ethiopia New Year party as the country enters 2017.


As seen in a video trending on social media on Wednesday, thousands of Ethiopians trooped out at the event in Addis Ababa, the country’s capital, celebrating their unique new year.


To the surprise of many fans on social media, Ethiopia is seven years behind the rest of the world, rightly so, because the country follows its unique calendar system, known as the Ethiopian calendar or Ge’ez calendar. It is based on the ancient Egyptian calendar and has some distinctive features compared to the Gregorian calendar used by most of the world.


Ethiopia’s new year is celebrated on either September 11th or 12th in the Ethiopian calendar (Ge’ez calendar), which is seven to eight years behind the Gregorian Calendar, owing to alternate calculations in determining the date of the annunciation of the birth of Jesus.


The celebration involves church services and festive and traditional meals, amongst others.
