EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting moment of an East African Jewish Bedouin musician, lost in the rhythm of his music as he plays the masenqo, a traditional single-stringed bowed lute, in the bustling streets of Jerusalem, Israel during the 1920s. The musician, dressed in striped robes and a headdress, embodies the rich cultural heritage of Ethiopian and Eritrean musical traditions. The masenqo, also known as the masinko or masenqo, is a resonator lute with a stretched parchment membrane, commonly found in the musical traditions of Ethiopia and Eritrea. The East African Jewish community, also known as Beta Israel or Falash Mura, has a complex and fascinating history. Many of its members were once part of the larger Ethiopian or Eritrean populations, but over centuries, they came to be identified as Jews based on their unique cultural practices and belief in the Jewish faith. This musician, a minstrel or azmari, was likely part of the nomadic Bedouin community, bringing his music to the streets of Jerusalem as a means of livelihood and cultural expression. The 1920s and 1930s were a time of great change for the East African Jewish community, as many began to migrate to Israel in search of a homeland and a connection to their Jewish heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when traditional music and cultural practices continued to thrive amidst the shifting sands of history.
