Selam All,
Something inspired me this morning. It was the words shouted out by an LA youth musician in a remix song of Yemane Baria's "Adey"; rapped by Sandman Negus. No cussing. No foul words. Nothing that one would expect in a rap song nowadays. Just clean! Determined with a signature of an Eritrean vision!
Sandman blew me with his lyrics. But he blew me more when he said, "... We got nine tribes, and I got nine lives ... I'm hard to kill ... homey don't be surprised ..."
THAT ROCKS! Sandman really rocked in this one.
What I thought would be a busy and tiresome day turned out to refresh my spirit knowing that I come from nine tribes, and that I have gotten nine lives. Enough said, listen for yourself.

This Eritrea we collectively treasure has borne Sons/Daughters who describe her well.
God/Allah Bless Eritrea!
Eternal Glory to Our Martyrs!
