“The Queen of Sheba”—enveloped in a mysterious and enchanting aura—draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Ethiopian musical traditions, utilizing scales and modes that evoke the ancient and mystical. As the Queen of Sheba journeys to meet King Solomon, the song oscillates between ethereal melodies and poignant spoken word, creating a dynamic interplay that underscores her journey of self-discovery and empowerment. The Queen’s lyrical testament to her sovereignty and strength is rendered with an authenticity that honors her storied legacy.
