Ras – Live Events

Addis Ababa comes alive after dark — ethio-jazz sets, gallery openings in Bole, open mics, rooftop DJs, azmari nights that go until the lights come on. The problem was never that nothing is happening. It's that everything happens by word of mouth. Ras puts your city's nights in one place DISCOVER WHAT'S ON Real events with real posters, updated through the week. See what's starting soon, what's popular, and what's near you — from jazz bars in Kazanchis to warehouse parties past Megenagna. DIRECTIONS THAT MAKE SENSE HERE Nobody in Addis navigates by street numbers. Ras shows you the landmark the host actually wrote — "behind Alem Cinema, 2nd floor" — plus a map pin for your ride.
