Growing up, East African representation in the music industry — specifically Ethiopian and Eritrean artists — was rare.
Apart from Abel Tesfaye, widely known as The Weeknd, artists across the Ethiopian-Eritrean diaspora don’t receive enough recognition for their talents.
Covering various genres, Habesha artists bring a new sound and perspective to the music scene, implementing both cultural instruments and more modern influences (Note: I will collectively refer to Ethiopians and Eritreans as “Habeshas,” a term we use in our community to describe the two groups as a single ethnicity).
