10. SOUNDBITE (Amharic) Sisay Demissie, begena woodshop co-owner and owner and teacher in Sisay Begena Musical Training Institute:
"All instruments other than the begena stimulate physical movements. They kindle emotions. But it is different with the begena. If you see a live begena performance in a church congregation, no one asks the mass to keep silent. As soon as the performance starts, everyone sits up straight and assumes the appropriate posture like this. This is the nature of the begena. It is not because someone protected it. Does anyone listen to what is forbidden ? Do you think humans are capable of obeying prohibitions? Isn't it true that all humans perpetrate what God has forbidden? Therefore we didn't protect the begena from others. The begena has been isolated just because it was created for this purpose."
11. Various shots of Selamawit Tewolde practising the begena in class
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Selamawit Tewolde, student in the begena school:
"I feel calm and patient and kind because when you play the begena, it is like you are calling God's name."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Henock Temesgen, Musician:
"I have been discouraged to even think to do something with it outside of the church related things. But I don't think it's only the public, I think that is how even the people who are well versed, and playing it, and who know more about it than me or the average person, they also think that the begena should also stay in the church. And that's the way it is."
