Music of Ethiopia
Ethiopian music is strongly influenced by Muslim forms as well as folk musics from the Horn of Africa, especially Somalia.
In northeastern Ethiopia, the region Wello[?], an Islamic musical[?] form called manzuma[?] developed. Sung in Amharic, manzuma has spread to Harar[?] and Jimma[?], where it is now sung in the Oromo language[?].
Famou Ethiopian musicians include Muluken Melesse[?] and Gigi Shibabaw[?].
