Ethiopia is by far better than eretrea!!! it is not the hell for its nations. actually country means not the land but the nation; now aday the majority of eretrean peoples are sufering of the ruling system of Esayes Afeork. so, since you know this how you can apriciate this horor govering system; generaly life in eretrea.
so, please know your self know your enemy(Esayes Afeork). finally i love all eretreans with their songs.

hollow hellina you are right, by the way i’m an eritrean born in adiss and i know the history of eritrea . most eritrean they know their history but,they don’t want to say it b/c they afraid of their heridity, why i think b/c of colonization the reason why they don’t want to discuss their identity with other people. but, they know they are the same people. -.if they disrespect ethiopian means their own people,then who are they come from? i think they don’t have any identity too.both,i believe we are the same people in history and heridity but, politically different.

ok im sorry but comment # 8, 7, 5 and 10

first of all when did eritrea ever respect ethiopia. and ethiopia thinks nothing of eritrea. we just want everyone to live together. and if im not mistaken there are soooo many dam problems in eritrea that there are over 300 eritreans fleeing every6 months into ethiopian refugee camps. so dont be talkin bout ethiopias problems when ethiopia is the one cleaning up after eritrea’s ass. and eritrea was not freakin illegally annexed i dont know were the hell yall got that idea from. if haile selassie did not take the italians out of that state yall woulda still been kissin italys ass now. and did you guys know there was a group in eritrea that had petitioned to fight the italians and get together with ethiopia. remember yall dont have history without ethiopia! what the hell was eritrea before the italians came huh? it was ethiopias 14th state and it wasnt even called eritrea! i bet yall didnt even know all this. so dont be callin ethiopians ignorant! and i dont see how yall is an independent country when yall was and still are and still will always be depending on Ethiopia cuz we are still helping yall out. i think its time eritreans gave credit for ethiopia. it was all always ethiopia! thats why ethiopia is written in every history book, bible, quran, etc. so yall the ones who is ignorant. im sick of eritreans who talk bad about haile selassie or ethiopia! but keep this in mind eritrea was not at war with ethiopia, it was fighting communism! all of ethiopia was fighting communism. so go on and read yall history books b4 u start sayin stuff because for one eritrean there are 100 ethiopians! i can go on and on and on but im done for now ok

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.

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
jo

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.

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!!!

To Dear #6

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 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 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.
