And let me add one more thing, that in all my musical releases, I write, compose and arrange my own music, I just get the lyrics from someone else. I started to play music at a very young age during the time I joined the liberation movement. The very first instrument I ever touched was a "Krar" (a hand-made traditional guitar), I guess it was in 1980. After that, in 1981 I had the opportunity to learn and play the "SHambqo" (traditional flute). And then in 1983, I was also exposed to learning some Fine Arts, and did some hand drawings and paintings. Since I had a lot of love for music and a box guitar by my side -- a hand-made guitar used to belong to a martyr known as "Oromo," I continued to develop and focus on my musical skills with "sne-Tbeb" until 1987.Since at that time I was very young, I had very easy time to master the "Krar" and also the box guitar. And also since I kind of felt a very strong love for music in general, learning the instruments was very simple for me.
