Traditional Ethiopian music is shaped by its isolated setting in the craggy peaks of the Ethiopian highlands. The driving rhythm common to other African cultures is replaced by the plaintive sounds of harps, lyres, reed flutes or single voices. The music borrows much from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, including hand-clapping and solo rattles and drums. Isolated by their homeland's rugged geography, the people of the Ethiopian highlands have preserved their cultures largely intact from outside influences.

  • i watched this with my children, and my oldest one who is borne and brought with the western media didn't know that Ethiopia have artists let alone sophisticated looking and her question was. is this true, in the 40s,50s, 60s Ethiopians know how to perform & sequence? i was shocked, most of our children don't know @ all. thank you Ethiofekade for your contributions. Excellent work.
