- Description:
- This recording is part of a series of records of folk songs in Amharic (Ethiopia) and Arabic published by Cetra, a record company founded by EIAR (Ente Italiano per le Audizioni Radiofoniche), the agency responsible for managing the radio network and programs in Fascist Italy. Most of these records are advertised as "songs from overseas lands". They bear colonial recordings featuring native performers and musical groups either founded in Libya and Ethiopia by the EIAR, or formed by colonial troops of native soldiers (Ascari). They are thus productions of the Fascist regime, with some of the performers and titles written in Italian, showing the Italianization and fascization of local traditions thus reappropriated by the Italian colonialists. This reappropriation is further affirmed by the presence of musical groups from colonial troops, especially given the predominance of the martial imaginary in Fascist symbolism. It is probable that these recordings were broadcast on stations run by the EIAR in order to promote the new Fascist colonial empire among Italians and strengthen their relationship with it. In any case, they represent one of the facets of colonial domination, this time exercised through music, sound and phonography.
