Meskerem Mees

Show notes

Welcome to StagVibes, where we spotlight the artists who speak softly but leave a deep echo.
Today’s guest is Meskerem Mees, the Belgian-Ethiopian singer-songwriter whose acoustic sound cuts through the noise of modern music with nothing but a guitar, a cello, and her voice.

She captured hearts with her debut single “Joe”, and has since become one of the most authentic and refreshing voices in the European folk scene. Winning awards like the Montreux Jazz Talent Award and Music Moves Europe, she’s proof that less can truly be more.

In this episode, we talk about poetry, silence, identity, and how Meskerem turns quiet thoughts into timeless songs. From village stages to international festivals, she’s bringing folk music back to its raw, human roots.

This is Meskerem Mees — gentle, grounded, and undeniably powerful.
