Beti Masenqo · Tune In
Beti Masenqo is a Sacramento-based singer-songwriter, violinist, and multi-instrumentalist whose music blends folk and rock with the Ethiopian songs of her childhood. Born in Ethiopia and — after a brief stay in Germany — raised in Davis from age five, she learned violin through her elementary-school orchestra, then returned to music in college through a folk cover band; borrowing a friend's guitar unlocked her singing voice and her songwriting. She now moves fluidly between vocals, violin, and guitar, layering classical, folk, and traditional Ethiopian modes over a steady rhythmic pulse. Beyond her solo work she belongs to Angelite!, a collective of eight Sacramento songwriters. ("Masenqo" is the name of an Ethiopian string instrument.)
