I created this mix/playlist during my last visit back home...featuring 40+ Eritrean songs that have been compiled for research/sampling purposes. Lots of rare gems/classics from all nine ethnic tribes: the Afar, Blien(My mother's people), Hidareb, Kunama, Nara, Rashaida, Saho, Tigre, and Tigrinya. 

Press play and let these sounds wash over you. Much love

Traditional Eritrean folk music is one of Eritrea's most popular types of music. It's part of various celebrations such as weddings, funerals, and other cultural events. This music uses traditional instruments such as the krar (a six-stringed lyre), the masenqo (a one-stringed fiddle), and the kebero (a drum).

Eritrean-American DJ, producer an all-around creative Eden Hagos brings visibility to those future sounds that you can’t quite put your genre finger on. Deeply rooted in underground hip-hop, sample-based, percussion-heavy tunes, and future bass, Eden’s ear for unique sounds has kept her digging since her uncle gave her her first Fugees album at age 16. Eden has dropped over 20 mix-tapes - the third installation, "Currently", caught the attention of OkayPlayer deeming the young beatstress "a prophet of future sounds". The beat scene and local producers started listening and partnerships with artists, labels, and connectors in the community became plentiful. Miss Hagos’ love for creative culture has led to opportunities to perform at underground clubs, international festivals, and celebrity and fashion events alike. She has opened for Snakehips, Anderson. Paak, Jmsn, Syd tha Kid, Tokimonsta, Sango, and Goldlink just to name a few. Eden is poised to bring light to the beatmakers in this movement while uncovering and educating folks along the way of all of the genres that exist within these future sounds.
