    kief,eritrean music made me very delighted,happiness…just I feel abig enchantement to express my feeling on your music from ETHIOPIA.

  5. Hi There:

    First off, to the comment above @ #4, you’re an idiot, cause the post is clearly about Eritrea and not Ethiopia. So it makes no sense that you try and incorporate Ethiopia in to this.

    I also like listening to Eritrean music. There is good music coming from that corner of the world. Helen Meles, Elsa Kidane, Abraham Afeworki, Korchach, Tesfay Mehari, Dawit Shilan Tsehaytu Beraki easily come to mind.

    Thanx!

    Comment #4, i am still annoyed with your post!

    I do not like shabia music but I like the great country ethiopian music

    I strongly support comment #4 and as I have understood it when It ETHIOPIA it means the original great Ethiopia before Eritrea was Separated.I don’t think that the new Ethiopia and Eritrea will remaine separated forever I’m looking forward to seeing Eritreans and Ethiopians living togather jointly as they where.I love Eritea and Eritreans who always want to live peasefully with the world in general and of their nighobours in particular and I hope the grouch ones will also learn from their mistake to live a harmonic life with their brothers in Ethiopia.

    Africa Unite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Its so annoying when Ethiopians do not have the decency to respect Eritreans and the fact that we do not want to ever join Ethiopia. Leave it alone. Eritrea was never Ethiopia’s to begin with. We were forcefully annexed into Ethiopia and fought long and hard to fight for independence because we are not Ethiopians but ERITREANS.

    Back to the TOPIC. Wow so many artist to choose from. I suggest you go to youtube or teshamo.com to look up Eritrean music. Most of the best and well-known songs are located at those sites!

    I agree some of your comment, I don’t like shabia but I strongly like all the Eretra music. Specially the greatest singers with great voice, Abraham Afewerky and
    Yemane Barya. I’m really…..really sad that we lost Abraham Afewerky, I’m not sure if any great voice left over for our Eretra?

    Its mind boggling to us Eritreans that some Ethiopians is so ignorant when it comes to Eritrea.

    99.99% voted for independence from Ethiopia after a 30 year struggle for freedom.

    I think Ethiopians should forget about Eritrea and save your energy to solve problems you have within your country like the other groups you have that are fighting for independence to.

    And that the tigray group that represents 2% of your population is running your entire nation says it all..

    Eritrea is NOT Ethiopia and will never be.

    Red sea belongs to us and if occupated we’ll re-seized every inch of land back as we did before. One Eritrean heart is enough to smash 10 ethiopian/u.s tanks.

    Long live Eritrea!

    Welcome to Asmara all peace loving people!!!

    Can the comments stay within the realm of Eritrean music and musicians? A love for music is something that we all share, no matter what country we are from.

    Hi to everybody,
    as promoter ofr Austria’s most exciting ethnic festival I’m looking for authentic musicians from Eritrea. If there is somebody who could recommend me a representing managements or agency, which I could conatct in my request, I’d be delighted …
    I know a little the Music of Helen Meles, but would love much more the music of Tsehaytu Beraki, but as far as I know, she lives in Holland and stoped to perform resp. to travel because of advanced age.

    best

    Everybody does have his/her own country. There is no queation on thisissue; if you are talking about preference of music however, you can choose whwtever you like. Beyond such kind of musical preference,however, I do not let any body who is not eritrean to talk about my country and my people.In the meen time, I do not want to hear from any Eritrean either to talk about Ethiopians because Ethiopians know about themselves beteer than any body else. If they do not know about their country and their people, it is their problem; it is not any Eritrean’s busines and vice versa. So what I recomend any peron who like to write/put his/her comment on the mass web site(s), please be advised to know your limitation of knowlege and look after your own business and I would like you to terminate wasting your time.
    with respect to evryone. Yours human being like
    everybody of you.
