The begena, (Amharic: በገና) is a ten-stringed box-lyre instrument from Ethiopia & Eritrea, and is the sole melodic instrument devoted only to the zema, the spiritual part of Ethiopian music. It is a solo instrument used for religious and meditative purposes and is often accompanied only by the singing voice. The banana is known for being powerful and can evoke strong reactions in both players and listeners. #ethiopia #africa #abyssinia #iloveethiopia #ethiopianlandscapes #landscapes #exotic #trad
