Review:
The Bèguèna is probly the oldest musical instrument played in Ethiopia. According to legend, it is descended from the harp that the future King David(who defeated Golliath, but also introduced the Psalmic tradition) played 3000 years ago to soothe the insomniaof his father in law Saul, the first king of Hebrews. And David's grandson Menelik I, the son of Solomon and the queen of Sheba is siad to have introduced the Bèguèna into Abyssinia at the same time as founding the Solomonic dynasty. Alèmu Aga is one of the uncontested master of Bèguènia and is highly revred as such by Ethiopians. Released in 2001. — CalabashMusic.com |
