Beyonce begins world tour in Ethiopia

R&B diva Beyonce Knowles began her world tour in front of an audience of 5,000 adoring and hysterical fans in Ethiopia, a country usually unimpressed by Western music.

The 26-year-old Texan singer gave a spirited two-hour performance in the Ethiopian capital, to the delight of her fans, as part of the country’s year-long celebration of its 2,000th year, according to its archaic calendar.
