Oakland singer-songwriter Meklit has belted out funk with James Brown's saxophonist, covered indie rock hits with sweet soulman Quinn DeVeaux , and collaborated with musicians from across Northeast Africa for the Nile Project , a visionary NGO she co-founded. Her translucent voice finds a cozy home in every far-flung setting, but she's never sounded as free and grounded as on When the People Move the Music Moves Too , which was released this past June on Six Degrees Records.
