Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Fichee-Chambalaalla, a New Year festival of the Sidama people is being celebrated in Hawassa today.<\/p>\n

Fichee-Chambalaalla was inscribed in 2015 by UNESCO as the representative list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.<\/p>\n

Top government officials, the elderly, the youth and different sections of the society attended the celebration of the outdoor festival.<\/p>\n

According to the oral tradition, Fichee commemorates a Sidama woman who visited her parents and relatives once a year after her marriage, bringing buurisame, a meal prepared from false banana, milk and butter, which was shared with neighbours.<\/p>\n

Fichee has since become a unifying symbol of the Sidama people.<\/p>\n

Each year, astrologers determine the correct date for the festival, which is then announced to the clans.<\/p>\n

Communal events take place throughout the festival, including traditional songs and dances. Every member participates irrespective of age, gender and social status.<\/p>\n
