The skies are clear and blue as the Jazz Voyager heads once again across the big water to East Africa, landing in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. There I will experience the sights and sounds of the country as I make my way to the Ghion Hotel on Ras Desta Damtew Avenue that houses The African Jazz Village to hear jazz from a new perspective.

Opened in 1951,it is situated in the heart of downtown Addis Ababa on thirty acres adjacent to what was once the jubilee palace of emperor Haile Selassie I. As the hotel is just 5 Km from Bole International Airport, it is also within a walking distance from museums and points of interest of which I will be taking advantage.

This outing will be a true adventure as I am unable to discover who will be playing this weekend. Room rates are reasonable and I have made my hotel reservations at 251 91 189 7438. #wannabewhereyouare
