Folk music derives from traditional culture and has a distinct flavor in each country and among its people. For generations, Ethiopian folk music has been interwoven with the sound of Ethiopian culture and handed down from generation to generation. Wegdayit, an up-and-coming songwriter and singer of folk music, is experimenting with indigenous Ethiopian and African sounds and literature to create his own folk music. He says he thrives on creating authentic sounds of music by interweaving Ethiopian and African folk music to create a musical genre he labels Tiru Musica. His music consists of a fusion of Ethiopian music, reggae, jazz, and hip-hop.
