Anibal grew up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and worked there as a videographer for more than a decade. He owned and operated a video production company and was a cameraman and editor at Orion Video Production. In 2006, Anibal migrated to Canada, where he set up a production company, Leyu Entertainment Inc. in Calgary, Canada. After taking a break to work in the oil industry, Anibal moved to the US in 2013 and started managing Café Lalibela, his family’s restaurant in Tempe.

African Fest USA is an independent collaborative of professionals for the advancement of African culture. Culturally and entertainment focused, African Fest USA invites and encourages artists, and other professionals to showcase their work and contribute to the ongoing conversation and action across the diaspora. From family stories told to children, to the written stories, entertainment is part of many cultures across Africa, with distinct stories in each country. The cultures, identities, and people of Africa are holders of a unique individual and continental story. Africa’s story is yet to be told on a global stage. African Fest USA can play a critical part in introducing African culture to the citizens of Arizona.
