Artists combine traditional Ethiopian music with Japanese dancers at the Moseb Cultural Center. Musical offerings combining Ethiopia's five-note scale, called 'Qignit,' with genres from other countries are relatively more common than dance performances. The country's musical flavours have an unmistakable endemic temperament which has evolved over nearly two thousand years.  Most contemporary music historians place the 'Golden Age' of Ethiopian music in the decade before 1978, when military censorship by the socialist regime took a strong footing. The vibrant hub of culture and creativity that Addis Abeba once was never truly resurfaced with a few glints spread across the decades since.
