  • Some of the most amazing music and dance is made by the poorest people on earth. If they can see the material value of their culture then they will be encouraged to nurture it and have an alternative to the constant pressure to conform to the global consumer economy.

  • We have a 20 minute film of the festival and more footage of all the performers -this is a tiny taster.

    Global Music Exchange is working to set up ways of making traditional music and dance available to the world, whilst getting the proceeds directly back to the performers.

  • I have to see this festival myself someday....Its just great!!!!11

  • @1000starsfest what is amezing about this other than being a music/dance of the ethnic people refred, i respect it that way, but there is nothing amezing and it is something you will not watch it more than 1 time..the melody is not catchy and artistclyt is not exciting so its value is anthrpological and cultral not artisic so is not amezing

  • Beautiful, touching, full of hope. Thanks

  • There is another celebration like his where many other ethnic groups (North South, East, West) come to together all in Addis at the stadium and each group represents themselves in a performance. Although i have yet to see it, I am sure it would be great.

  • This is REALLY great. Betam Gobez!!!!

  • I love it !

  • so beautiful! I want to visit!

  • My very first vacation spot Arba Minc, I will never forget the wonderful time I spend there.
