Tsehaytu Beraki
"Selam"

Tsehaytu Beraki is an absolute legendary singer from Eritrea born in1939.
In the '70-ies she was discovered by producer Tewolde Redda, who took her to Addis Abeba, to record for Philips some 7" singles. She was a very big star.
But the political situation got more and more intense. Her songs moved from love songs to more polical statements and comments. One time her concert was bombed, seven people died and Tsehaytu badly injured. She didn't give up and went back to the villages, to sing and support the women and children. Her courage and inspiration still mean a lot to all Eritreans!
