Métronomique trace le portrait d'Addis Abeba au tournant des années 70, capitale économique et artistique d'une Ethiopie alors emblématique d'une Afrique indépendante et non-alignée. Stars incontestées de ce "Swinging Addis" Mahmoud Ahmed, Alèmayèhu Eshèté ou Girma Bèyènè dont la renommée doit beaucoup à Francis Falceto, fondateur en 1996 de la collection de CDs « Ethiopiques» éditée par Buda Musique.

Notre histoire débute en 1969 quand un jeune homme de 24 ans, Amha Eshèté, crée sa propre maison de disques, au nez et à la barbe des autorités. Elle se termine 6 ans plus tard quand un lieutenant-colonel cruel et impitoyable s’empare du pouvoir.  Addis Abeba plonge alors dans la nuit, et pour longtemps.  

Dans cette histoire, on croisera un Empereur en fin de course, un chef d’orchestre arménien rescapé du génocide, l’Orchestre de la Police programmé dans les nights-clubs, une nonne au piano, et même un cireur de chaussures qui imite Elvis Presley !

Graduates (5)🎓

Abeba Girma

Valedictorian / President, Young Lawyers Association / Broussard Justice Recipient

Abeba has done it again - highest GPA, on the fast track to make Junior partner before she even moved into her desk at the law firm. Her parents, Ephrem and Mazaa are over the moon. 

She will be taking a position in international law to help refugees and people who cannot afford to pay with immigration issues. She also secured a grant so that she can offer her services pro bono. Now to find a home for her and her Fiancée Baldwin.

Baldwin Levesque

Computer Science Major / Young Innovators in Tech Award Recipient 🥇/ Valadictorian

Baldwin has hit the ground running - he’s already begun working for Meditech ™️ and is on the fast track to running his own team. He’ll be creating medical software that will play a role in medical surgery. Needless to say, his mother Xio is beyond pleased. His father Manu and his sister Zora are proud, but expected nothing less.

He and his fiancé Abeba just have one task aside from wedding plans – finding a home.

Micah Broussard

Journalism Major / Writer, Foxbury Insider

He made it, y’all. His parents, Bruce & Esther had their fingers crossed most of the time, but we’re here.

Although he originally wanted to be a sports journalist (if you’ve been following along, you know why… but let’s not bring her up right now), but thanks to his professor, he decided to go down the novelist path, while working for a digital paper in the meantime.

Now that he’s about to be a father, this suits him just fine. It will give him time to bring in a steady paycheck while working on his first book. Lucky for him, there are plenty of writers in the family to help guide him through the process. And Bubbe Ida and his sisters Shalom & Noa pie, of course.

Next up? Finish moving, baby shower, wedding. Possibly in that order. 

Alma Ramos

Journalism Major / Editor-In-Chief, Foxybury Insider / Latina Writer’s Guild / Foxbury

Granted, this is not how Alma saw her Uni experience ending. However, as all writers know, some of the best experiences are the plot twists. And maybe this is just a detour; plenty of young mothers manage to raise their children and have careers. She has a loving, committed partner in Micah, so anything is possible. Not to mention a strong family in her Abuelo Luis, her Tia Benni and her prima Yadira and Ya’s fiancée Ciara.
