STEEPED IN ANCIENT TRADITION
The Begena, a 10-stringed musical instrument of ancient origins and Biblical mention is found preserved in modern day Ethiopia. Mostly played solo and considered a devotional and sacred instrument, the begena has survived the test of time; simultaneously avoiding the limelight and complete obscurity. Begena Begenaye is a film about a new generation of begena players who have now emerged echoing the ancient devotees of the instrument amidst globalization.
