Saba Tewelde knew what she wanted. She wanted to sing. Today, she performs her own type of music with her band Injera Soul. Without a formal education in music, she learnt by doing and she is pulling a dedicated crowd of fans. In a brief interview with AFRITOPC, she speaks about herself and her lyrics.
I was born in Eritrea . I came to Germany with my parents at an early age and went to school in Frankfurt . I was interested in music already at school. I loved singing and wanted to be a singer. My parents could not afford my attending a school of music financially. I wanted to learn how to play the piano but financial difficulties debarred me from taking piano lessons. I was not discouraged. I did not like the regular school curriculum and I had difficulties with some of the subjects. I knew I had to deal with the difficulties. I dealt with them and overcame them. Going through the difficulties and overcoming them made me stronger.

I was determined to get into the music business and become a music artist. I started looking for contacts in the music scene and finally got the chance to perform in a musical in Frankfurt. I was learning to sinf by doing. With more practice, I got better. Later, I started receiving offers as a background vocalist from different music groups. I traveled around Europe performing with Reggae, Hip Hop and African music groups.

I gained a lot of experience, which motivated me to start thinking about developing my own style of music. I wanted to do rhythms with lyrics in my mother tongue, Trigrina. I have a great deal of resources I could draw from and integrate in my music.
