and not just cause Hendeke reviewed my album, but that's dope too. they re-vamped the whole website. and are updating it all the time. look. here's an excerpt from the 'About' page if your not already knowing. it's crazy but i met some of the dopest people in my life because of this website.
Abesha.com is an online magazine that celebrates the creative works of Eritreans and Ethiopians all over the world. Whether in our respective countries, or abroad in the Diaspora, our goal is to help the salient (and perhaps quirky) elements of our diverse cultures find a comfortable home on the web. Abesha.com publishes a colorful array of interviews, reviews, feature articles and essays to highlight the rainbow of contemporary contributions to music, film, theatre, art, dance and literature. Through this, we hope our readers experience Abesha.com as a platform to explore the differences and commonalities between the two countries, while simultaneously bridging the gap that exists between 2nd generation Diaspora, adoptees and their parents, and others.
Our world is teeming with the brilliant works of artists from a wide range of backgrounds. This diversity reflects the varied paths people from our region have taken, coupled with humanity’s need to express our thoughts, dreams and passions. Gathering and recording these works of art, through personal submissions or solicitations, creates a conduit that passes critical information from one generation to the next. Abesha.com believes this information sharing is a powerful tool that empowers youth and exposes them to exciting leaders, artists, and thinkers, while also inspiring a generation of writers to catalogue and analyze the world. It also creates a unique opportunity for Eritreans and Ethiopians, as well as other members of the Horn, to have a rounder, fuller perspective of each other, helping heal some of the wounds that have contributed to our forgetting the humanity of our closest neighbours.
gyeah!
