About Zema

Music that feels like home.

Zema (ዜማ) means “melody”. We bring Eritrean and African sound and stories to people at home and across the diaspora.

Our story

For millions of Eritreans and Africans living far from home, the music and stories of their culture are hard to find in one place, in their own language. Zema was created to change that: one fast, affordable app for music, audiobooks and video, in Tigrinya, Tigre, Amharic, Arabic and more.

What you get
