THE WEEKND
According to Revolt, Abel Tesfaye, popularly known as The Weeknd, is the son of Ethiopian immigrants. In an interview with Pitchfork, Tesfaye discusses how his Ethiopian upbringing shaped him artistically. “My mother, my grandmother, my uncles would play Ethiopian artists like Aster Aweke and Mulatu Astatke all the time in the house. They would drink coffee, eat popcorn, and listen to the music. It’s such beautiful music, but I didn’t realize how beautiful it was until I left that head space. That’s why I feel like my singing is not conventional.”
