Eritrea– Tracks From Abroad Ep.105

This week on Tracks from Abroad we speak to Soliana, a student at the University of Toronto representing the country of Eritrea.

She tells us about an event hosted recently by her student association, bringing people together from all across east Africa to enjoy a delicious meal together. She speaks on the similarities between Eritreans and Ethiopians, and describes a unique coffee ceremony that comes from Ethiopian culture.

We hear from jazz musician Mulatu Astatke, singer-songwriter Abraham Afwerki as well as Eritrean artists making their name in Canada such as Kibra and Daniel Nebiat. Join us next week on Tracks from Abroad on CIUT 89.5 FM!
