The richness of music diversity is open to anyone with access to the Internet. There is a wealth of great sounds available from a number of genres, many of which are hosted on theĀ Teshamo Eritrean music website. Teshamo Eritrean blends music from the 1960s and true Africans with Western soul. This creates fresh new musical experiences for those who would like to listen.
Traditionally Eritrean musical instruments were the negarit, or a drum that is covered with an animal hide. The drum has a different size head on each side of it. The different sizes offer a different sound from each end of the drum. There are wind instruments like the shambuko, embilta, and meleket. All of the wind instruments can be compared with the trumpet. There are string instruments as well, and these include the violin, harp, and guitar. The string instruments give the music the sound of the 60s.
Lately the musical concerts given with theĀ Eritrean style of music have been culturally based. This is especially peaceful for those in the older generations. Those in the older generations especially like the way the music sounds, and that it is a contemporary musical sensation. If the artists are younger the past has been embraced through the music. All of the Eritrean music is always played in front of a live audience when the band is practicing.
Eritrean music has a cultural stage, but it embraces the foes of the 1960s Ethiopia. There have been a large number of videos dealing with politics that have been produced. All of these Ethiopian music videos and Eritrean music files can be accessed at sites like YouTube. There are many types of music available and many of them are cultural videos online at the site. There can also be a number blues, and jazz videos found at the site.
