"Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea" (Tigrinya: ኤርትራ ኤርትራ ኤርትራ, romanized: Ertra, Ertra, Ertra) is the national anthem of Eritrea. Adopted in 1993 shortly after independence, it was written by Solomon Tsehaye Beraki and composed by Isaac Abraham Meharezghi and Aron Tekle Tesfatsion.[1]
History
The lyrics of the anthem were written by poet Solomon Tsehaye Beraki.[2][3] Originally written in 1986, Solomon updated them in 1993 after Eritrea's independence.[4][5] The music was composed in 1985–1986 by organist Isaac Abraham Meharezghi (also spelt Isaq[4]), who was a member of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front cultural troupe.[4]
