Information
has glosseng: Buhe is an Ethopian children's holiday, usually celebrated in Mid-August “Hoya Hoye” comes from a children’s song chanted during a holiday similar to Halloween, (but of Christian faith) called "Buhe." Kids travel door to door in groups singing this traditional call and response. They pound walking sticks to the beat and take turns singing praises in rhyme to earn coins and dough. “The kid has to be sincere and original in his rhymes to get paid,” says Schommer, who set the tempo of the track based on hearing a young boy in Addis Ababa sing it while shining someone’s shoes. “Every Ethiopian knows this song regardless of tribe.” Buhe is celebrated August 21.
