Ae Mak & d_abdu at Aiteall

Complete your Saturday at Aiteall with a double-headline show by Ae Mak and d_abdu.

d_abdu is the moniker and the Xbox 360 gamertag of Ethio/Irish musician Dara Abdurahman.

Hidden in plain view playing bass in Bricknasty since its inception, Dara now pursues his own sound, drawing from Elliott Smith, Grouper and The Microphones to make up the DNA of the d_abdu project.

Irish artist Ae Mak (Aoife McCann) debut record, Folk Songs For Mama & Papa, was released on May 29th, 2026. After years of making genre-defying, other-worldly pop music and performing visceral, kinetic shows across Europe and the UK, this record marks a quiet and profound shift. Mainly inspired by her own spirit and influenced by artists such as Björk, Judee Sill, Aldous Harding and Paul Simon, Folk Songs For Mama & Papa steps away from character-making and toward essence. It is a cosmical – spiritual folk record rooted in voice, breath, and emotional resonance in the body.
