The legendary Oqbagabr was a
singer, Composer, Poet and brave tegadalay, who sacrificed his life for
his people and country. His songs are Philosophical and seamlessly
constructed and eloquently written. His last tape, which has over 14
songs touches many topics, history, the suffering of the Eritrean
people, the struggle, the beauty of Eritrea, vision of a developed
Eritrea and many more. Oqbagabr's lyrics dig deep into the period of
struggle by describing the unfair role of the global powerful players in
Eritrea's affair and colorful lyrics of hope. He also had a few things
to say about some Eritreans who sacrificed the national interest for
other narrow interests.
Oqbagabr martyred, but he left many more behind. Not do only tegadleti
like tefeno describe Oqbagabr as their teacher, but also the new
generation's great singers such as Wedi Tkabo who take inspiration and
style from him |
