Eritrea Ato Ateweberhan Segid - Aslamay Kistanay

Eritrean musicians understood the importance of music & used it to educate, Atewebrhan Segid's song "Aslamai Kistanay" can be remembered as exemplary. In this revealing song from the 1950's, Ateweberhan Segid conveys a highly strong and clear message to the Eritrean people advising them rhythmically to beware of the foreigner's dangerous weapon: divide and conquer. "Aslamay, Kristanay, Wedi Kolla Dega, Ne Mihri Wetsa'i ayte habo Waga. Ayte habo waga, keyt'e khun idaga!" (Muslims, Christians, high & low land citizens, don't give value to the teachings of the foreigners or you'll be up for sale).
