The Eritrean Mass Online Music Collaboration Project of 2013 was a 5-month project to unite young Eritrean artists (musicians, vocalists, dancers, painters, photographers, artists) to perform an Eritrean song as they expose their talents to the world. And all completely over the internet! All these VOLUNTEER participants on this video have not met each other in person, which is what makes this project so remarkable. It shows that even just through a simple internet connection, we as Eritreans united together, no matter where we are living can work towards a common goal and do great things.
As we unite, this is in memory of our great legend Abraham Afeworki. The song we sing is called "Emni'are" or "Deki Erey" by Abraham Afeworki. The last bit is a song by Tedros Ururu and Dawit Shilan called "Nirimey". Major credit goes to these wonderful Eritrean artists who have inspired us all over the world with their music.
First inspired by a video on youtube called "Little Symphony" which was an online collaborative project of musicians from around the world playing music together...but all completely online. This sparked a conversation between two musicians (Hade1Hade & Erekeyz), and blew up into this huge one-of-a-kind Eritrean art project we present to you today.
I would like to thank every single person who participated in this project and every person and groups that have been supporting this project with their kind words of encouragement and support. It is greatly appreciated, we could not have done this without all of you deki erey!
