Lensa Bekele

a coffee farm in the Ethiopian highlands

Lensa Bekele has spent her life on a coffee estate nestled in the Ethiopian highlands, content in the rhythm of animal care and seasonal harvests. Her days are filled with grooming the estate's dogs and exchanging stories with farm workers, while her nights are occupied by worries over the farm's yield and the stray dogs she longs to rescue. With a musical style rooted in the natural cadence of her environment, Lensa channels her life's unique sounds into unexpected songs that echo her surroundings.
