Ruth Abraha's style has been described as a combination of Helen Meles, Elsa Kidane, and Gual Ankere. As of 2011 she was dominating the Eritrean music scene; Ethiopian Review described her as "the hottest singer in the horn of Africa right now".[3] Her fans call her "Ruta Shikor". With a relaxed, stylish persona, she presents an ideal of modern Eritrea.[4] She was one of the performers at the 5th Eri Youth Festival, held in the SAWA Defence Training Center, Eriteria on 13-15 July 2012.[5][6] Other acts at the festival included the Eriam Sisters and Helen Meles.[7][8]
