Thank you Abe Abraham for the post.
RIP to the great man of arts Abdelkarim al Kabli. I was introduced to him thru his memorable song "suuker suuker" growing up in Asmara thru Radio Asmara's Tigre/Tigrayt weekly program "Senbet Abay" in the 80s by the great trio broadcasters Mussie Bekit, Mosobay and a woman that escapes me her name now. The woman was in our neighborhood near WeWeKMa Edaga Hamus.
This was also staple song in "ye ehud Program" of the Amharic section of Radio-Addis led by Addisu and Neguse.

Indeed " suuker suuker " is a truely memorable song. Edaga Hamus ! Do you remember the Swedish Church ( 'nda shweden ) ? It is not that far from your neighbourhood. I got my ዓርኪ ተማሃራይ children's reading book from them. There was a story in the book of a young girl Hannah who was stung by a bee and her brother had to comfort her. The story starts like this : ሃና ንህቢ ነኺስዋ ...
I walked past wewekma with my mom only once. I was very young and didn't know what wewekma stood for. I was only pleased that I could read it at that time.
