Asmara applies!

Eri TV is delighted to announce that they will be applying to be a potential host of the first ever edition of Own Africavision Song Contest: Winners Edition in  Asmara.

Host city

Asmara or Asmera is the capital and most populous city of Eritrea, in the country's Central Region. It sits at an elevation of 2,325 metres (7,628 ft), making it the sixth highest capital in the world by altitude. The city is located at the tip of an escarpment that is both the northwestern edge of the Eritrean Highlands and the Great Rift Valley in neighbouring Ethiopia. In 2017, the city was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its well-preserved modernist architecture.
Back then, villages were frequently attacked by clans from the low land and from the rulers of "seger mereb melash" (which now is a Tigray region in Ethiopia), until the women of each clan decided that to defeat their common enemy and preserve peace the four clans must unite. The men accepted, hence the name "Arbate Asmera". Arbate Asmera literally means, in the Tigrinya language, "the four (feminine plural) made them unite". Later, Arbate was eventually dropped and it has been called Asmera - and thus then the nowadays’ Asmara. 

Venue

Asmara Theatre, also known as Asmara Opera, is a theatre in Asmara, Eritrea. It was constructed in 1918 following a design by the Italian engineer Odoardo Cavagnari, with later renovations in 1936.
The building was erected on a hillside in Italian Asmara, at the eastern end of the north side of today's Harriet Avenue and at the corner of Beleza Street. This location made possible to make the ascent to the Opera as a monumental staircase, which is circled on both sides by a shell-shaped fountain and a Renaissance - loggia with Corinthian columns. The rest of the exterior of the building, especially the Beleza Street side facing, is castle-like, designed with battlements and towers. From the porch it is possible to reach the Foyer, which in turn gives access to the huge "Auditorium". This has, in addition to the Parquet floor, three additional levels and can have 750 spectators. The stage is relatively small and without further technical equipment.

Presenters

Senhit Zadik Zadik, known professionally as simply Senhit, is an Italian singer. She was born in Bologna by her Eritrean parents. She is well-known after representing  San Marino at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "Adrenalina". She is not a stranger for Own Africavision as she was in fact the first Eritrean representative ever in the contest. She competed with the song "Dark Room" and successfully claimed a spot in top 10.
Elham Mohammed Jabir is a new young rising star in Eritrean music industry. She was born in 1996 in the Eritrean capital Asmara. She grew up in a Tigre family and currently has had tremendous passion for music and intends to chase her dreams. She represented Eritrea in the ninth edition with her Tigrinya song "Amine".
