 |  Subject: Music of Ethiopia  Thu Nov 11, 2010 1:51 am | |
| The music of Ethiopia is extremely diverse, with each of the country's 80 ethnic groups being associated with unique sounds. Ethiopian music uses a unique modal system that is pentatonic, with characteristically long intervals between some notes. Influences include ancient Christian elements and Muslim and folk music from elsewhere in the Horn of Africa, especially Sudan and Somalia. Traditional singing in Ethiopia presents diverse styles of polyphony (heterophony, drone, imitation, counterpoint). Popular musicians include Teddy Afro, Tilahun Gessesse, Aster Aweke, Muluken Melesse, Bizunesh Bekele, Mahmoud Ahmed, Tadesse Alemu, Alemayehu Eshete, Asnaketch Worku, Ali Birra, Gigi, and Mulatu Astatke. painting servicesresume cover letter | |
