Yes every one knows that being a slave, being colonized is awful and uncalled for. But sh’it happens specially if the perpetrators are much, much stronger than the victim.
But it is also a fact that these super powers became colonizers because they are more educate, civilized and possess dangerous arms.
And thus to further their agendas and to make their troops comfortable they also bring higher levels of education, musical talents and even medical facilities…..fact was that even a Saudi king came to Asmara for medical attention which was established by the Italians.
So now what this video illustrates is that music was introduced to Eritrea
by these colonizers when the rest of Africa specially the 120 million rats Ethiopians didn’t know what music was (their view of music was beating their chests and jumping from tree branch to the other), while in Eritrea there was a 24 hours none stop American military base (kagnew station) music which I was privileged to enjoy just like what my best friend (he used to be a goal keeper in one of Eritrea’s second team like I was during that time) is explaining.So the next phase was history. Sellassie start systematically locating the talented Eritreans to Ethiopia including musicians to introduce music to the music allergic 120 million Ethiopians. Fact matter.
All the then modern Ethiopian music were sung or produced by Eritreans. So you mother fu’ckers 120 million rats, recognize that you were beneficiaries of our miseries, which the miseries we faced had unintended positive advantages.
But rather than using the Eritreans help rendered to you, you a’ss wipes tried to take us back to your backwardness and became pain in our a’ses for over 6 decades.
