Nice song.

learnmore1 I know you are Tigray but I'm curious your thoughts on post-Afwerki Eritrea. I fear an ISIS or other Islamist takeover like In Syria and other countries. I am trying to visit before the country is completely trashed.

My family is actually mixed .

I don't think Islamists will take over, the country isn't bad in that regard. You could still technically visit now, people still do go .

Interesting, mixed with what? I am mostly Ogaden for hundreds of years on both sides.

Have you been to Eritrea?

Have you been to Eritrea?

Tigrinya, Gurage and Amhara. (Dad is half Eritrean Tigrinya, and his mother is Gurage/Tigrayan, and my mum is Amhara.)

And yes in 2011 .

Where are you from in the Ogaden?

Nice, I hope to visit in the not too distant future.

I am from the heart of Ogaden, my camels only mate with Ogaden camels. Near the original capital of Ogaden Godey, but I also have roots in a few other places around the horn. Technically you could argue I am Somalilander, Puntlander, Somalian, Kenyan, Ethiopian.

This is my favorite Tigrigna song for now! The dude has an amazing voice....

Tigre, Tigray and Tigranya are not the same.

Tigre are Beja and Eritrea's lowlands while Tigray is a region in Ethiopia.

Tigrinya is the shared language of Kebessa (Bahir-Tigrinya), Eritrean highlanders, and Tigrais of Tigray.

Tigres speak Tigre and dominate the western region of Anseba with Keren as its largest town. The other half of the family is across the Sudanese region of Kassala. They cover the largest land.

The one below is from the Tigre on the Sudanese side of the border (Kassala), the legendary Beja warriors.

One of my favourite ones straight from Anseba.

The Tigres/Beja, Ben-Amir (Beja) and the Bilen (Agew) are our people and true brothers as are the Afar and Saho.

In such I will share my favourite Bilen song. The Agews are gifted artists people who are pretty much oral and poetic society like their distant Somali cousins. Let your own ears be judge.

Posting Tigrai songs in a Tigre topic or reffering to own parents as "Tigringya" is being clueless.

Yes that's correct. Helen btw in the OP is actually Tigrinya but sang in Tigre for that song.

But the Tigre's are not Cushitic though and are related to both the Tigrinya and Beja people, mainly the former.

Also, the Tigre's are not Beja. They are two ethnic groups of their own.

Mixed views of him. I agree with some things he says but I don't think he is what the country needs.
