Ethiopia – Harp of King David

Alemu Aga plays the begenna – an instrument dedicated to prayer and meditation. It was believed to have been brought back to Ethiopia from Israel 3000 years ago when Queen Sheba visited King Solomon. It is also known as the Harp of King David – listening to this wonderful sound can give us a different perspective on what some of the ancient musical instruments might have sounded like in times of David’s temple.
