there are countless parallels between the monastery driven, non-urban pre-medieval Christianity of both Ireland and Ethiopia. I would expect their music to have similar agreements in style and taste, both are the preservation of original Christian worship and theology.
In regards to the Ethiopian
mezmuroch (religious music), my youth group at the Ethiopian church are going to perform these songs for the
Timket (Feast of the Epiphany) celebration for a crowd of over 6,000! thats one hell of a gig!
