I know it’s been a while, but there’s no file found for the begena song now. Anyone have a link and know which song it was?

Thank you Nolawi this is beautiful. From the few Begena players I heard no one sounded that eloquent. Alemu has such a divine voice for it.

Nolawi--Thank you for a great post. Alem Aga is definitely one of the remaining masters of the Begenna. My favorite Begena mezmur has alwasy been "Tew Semagnn Hagere." This hymn just evokes and stirs memories like no other. I'll send it you so you can up it for other readers. Qededa-I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that Alemu Aga is very much alive. Go out and support him by purchasing Ethiopiques 11-The Harp of King David here

all I remember is the smell of cow gut. Yes, it’s true it sooth’s the soul, but I think it would be so cool if it’s mixed with Hip-Hop beat and see what happens…

Do you think radio stations in Addis will play Gebena influenced music other than religion on the radio?
