Faytinga

Faytinga composes her own songs and also interprets work from well-known poets and composers from Eritrea. She comes from the Kunama people, one of Eritrea’s many tribes where women and men have equal rights. When singing, she plays the krar, a small lyre. An accomplished and elegant dancer as well as talented singer, she became a leading figure and source of inspiration to her country. Faytinga has been performing around the world representing Eritrea as a cultural ambassador for her country.
