Happy Ethiopian New Year

September 11 was Ethiopia’s New Year [this video has no sound]
Ethiopia rings in its New Year, Enkutatash, on 11 September, and not on 1 January, as the rest of the world does. The country’s unique calendar considers September, called Meskerem in the local language of Ethiopia, to be the first month of the year. The Ethiopian New Year Enkutatash means the ‘gift of jewels’. Legend has it that King Solomon of Jerusalem gave the Queen of Sheba jewels during her famous visit to Jerusalem some 3,000 years ago. Her return to Ethiopia after receiving the gift coincided with the New Year celebration in September, and hence the name Enkutatash came to be.

The number of daylight hours and nighttime hours happen to be exactly equal in every part of the globe once every September, which is one of the reasons Ethiopians celebrate New Year during this month. During this time of the year, the Sun and the Moon that are used to count time each have 12 hours before setting. The second reason is derived from the Bible, which says that the creation of the Heavens and the Earth took place in September.

Ethiopians believe that the month of September has different signs that explain why it should be celebrated as the beginning of a New Year. Blooming flowers, sunny days and a generally pleasant weather reign during this month. It is a time when people leave the rainy, foggy and thunderous months in Ethiopia’s winter period behind and move on to better days. The whole family comes together to light a bonfire in their backyard and dance around it in circles on the eve of the New Year. For the New Year celebration, young boys have a different role. Weaving their creativity into beautiful paintings that herald the coming of a bright new day, the boys go from one house to another handing out their works of art on the morning of the holiday to family members, neighbors and friends. Ethiopian girls approach you beating their drums, clapping and singing the traditional song, Abebayehosh. One of the girls leads the song and the rest respond to the lyric, chanting “lemlem”. They carry bright-yellow flowers called adey abeba, which grow in Ethiopia only from September to November. As a token of appreciation, people respond to the girls’ pleasant songs with a piece of bread prepared for the holidays, or with money – the latter taking precedence these days. young boys have a different role. Weaving their creativity into beautiful paintings that herald the coming of a bright new day, the boys go from one house to another handing out their works of art on the morning of the holiday to family members, neighbours and friends.(Serkalem Tafesse, 2018)

While the West prepares for fall, dormant trees, and cold weather, North East Africa, is in bloom. Happy New Year!

Why Are They Lying About Africa's History? : Exposing The Truth
Why Are They Lying About Africa's History? : Exposing The Truth Kwadwo Danmeara Tòkunbọ̀ Datɛ 43 Views • 2 years ago

For centuries, there has been a concerted effort to diminish the role that Black people have played in shaping the world. This includes civilizations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and America, where the achievements of Black people have been either whitewashed or ignored.There's a fear among some groups that admitting the truth about the past mistreatment of Africans, including ongoing cultural erasure, might lead to retribution.

Salif Keita & Cesaria Evora - Yamore HD Official video
Composed & written by Salif Keita -Acoustic guitar - lead vocals

Peace with you Cesaria --Vocals Unıversal Muzıc jazz

Salif Keïta, 25 Ağustos 1949'da Djoliba'da doğdu, Mali'li müzisyen, besteci ve şarkıcıdır. Kuzey batı afrika'nın sözlü kültürünün en büyük kaynağı griot şarkılarını o kendine özgü gırtlağı ile seslendirip, bunları dünya müziğine armağan etmiştir.
1985'de, diğer Afrikalı müzisyenlerle birlikte Etiyopya'daki açlığa yardım eli uzatmak amacıyla "Tam Tam pour l'Afrique" adlı şarkıyı seslendirmiştir. Kurduğu "SOS Albino" Organizasyonu ile albinolara destek vermektedir.. Afrika'nın batılı ülkelerle arasında köprü rolü üstlenen Keita'nın, bugün hala ülkesinin kaderinde önemli bir yeri var.

Keita'nın müziği, Mali'nin zengin müzik kültürünün en iyi örneklerinden olup, pop müziği ile kaynaşmıştır. Şarkı sözleri iyimser bir insanın mesajlarını iletiyor. Afrikalılara içinde bulundukları olumsuz koşullar nedeniyle kendilerine acımamalarını, bunun yerine uyanıp varoluşlarının pozitif yanlarını açığa çıkarmalarını söylüyor.
Keita'nın ilginç yaşam hikâyesinin eşliğinde yarattığı müzik Afrika'nın neşesi, coşkusu, acısı ve mutluluğuyla özdeşleşmiş. "Yamore"yi dinlediğinizde, uzaklardan gelen ama bir o kadar da içinizde hissettiğiniz duyguların yoğunluğuna kapılıyorsunuz.

"Bilirsiniz, Tanrı tüm nimetlerini bir kişiye vermez. Bana da pigmentasyon vermedi ve iyi bir görüş... Fakat bana da ufak bir şeyler verdi. Yamore gibi... Yamore sihirsel bir biçimde geldi. Sadece öyle... Gitarımı elime aldım ve melodiyi çalmaya başladım. O melodiyi üç gündür arıyordum. Ah! Mutluydum. O aradığım şeydi..."
Yaşantısındaki zorluklara rağmen iyimserliğinden bir şey kaybetmemiş, köklerine olan bağlılığını ve geleneklerine olan tutkusunu yaşatabilmiş bir sanatçı olan Keita, Afrikalıların kalbinde önemli bir yere sahip. Afrika'nın seslerini dinlemeyi sevenlerin de...

Mutluluk yarına ait değil. O bir varsayım değil. Mutluluk burada ve şimdi başlar... "Moffou" -Salif Keita

YAMORE
Je t'aime mi amoré menebêff fie

Nosso amor ta vins cansando
De ser luta e resitencia
