I have listened a lot of reggae music but this one artist really catches my attention. After seeing his video tribute to the late Legend Bob Marley and realizing that it was good, I tried listening to his other songs, although it was not English, but just by the beat and rhythm of the song convinced me that his songs are good. Apparently, most of us doesn't really know who Teddy Afro is, I made quick researches for his bio, luckily got one over at LastFM's wiki.
One of my favorite Teddy Afro track is the Tribute Song for Bob Marley entitled Bob Marley. See video below. (grabbed from Youtube)
Teddy Afro (Tewodros Kassahun, in Amharic:) is undoubtedly an Ethiopian music sensation and one of the very most successful performers and song writers coming from Ethiopia in recent times. Afro’s musical technology success appears to have been credited to your powerful email conveyed with his new music. From compassion to guts and with forgiveness to love, Afro has long been able to split artistic constraints that were formerly untouched. He has been compared to the Jamaican reggae legend Bob Marley, in part caused by his capability to bring some sort of political, psychic, and stroking presence to be able to his audience members. Afro is also famous for his work with other adolescent and impressing artists for the duration of Ethiopia.
In 2005, Teddy presented his introduction album Abugida, termed after the “Abugida” and also ABCs within the Amharic language. All of the album vaulted him to the global songs scene, as well as quickly triumphed in him your admiration about his people and individuals from all walks of life world-wide. Several trails in particular quickly caught that ear regarding listeners outside his indigenous Ethiopia - “Halieselassie” a tribute for the late Emperor with Ethiopia, Haile Selassie I; “Haile, Haile” winner single honoring Olympic long distance victorious one and nationalized hero, Haile Gebrselassie; not to mention “Mona Lisa”, a measure involving human loveliness. The LP was known as a success found in Ethiopian contemporary popular music, and appeared to be reprinted eight times.
Around 2004, Teddy released his / her most successful one-time to date, Tarik Teserra (“History was in fact Made”), in honor of marketplace record container and 04 Olympic gold medalist, Kenenisa Bekele. All the song grabbed the emotions with the entire Ethiopian location. A song video appeared to be compiled consisting of footage off their great Ethiopian ways runners, properly Bekele’s 10,000 meter gold function in the 2004 summer Olympics. Throughout the online video media, Bekele is referred to as the brand new Anbessa (“Lion”) in Ethiopian good way running, making it the great Haile Gebrselassie. Bekele might be shown repetitions looking once more for an individual's mentor Haile Gebrselassie, who was unable to go the 10,Thousand meter race at full stride due to a nasty injury. The raised Afro’s status as one of the ideal Ethiopian musical artists of her time, along with heightened the making of his or her second cd.
The much time anticipated next album, Yasteseryal, was in fact finally issued in 2004. There was a roumer that the Lording it over party (EPRDF) will not be happy about this album in addition to was just after Teddy up to now. Now there is a disturbing news that Teddy Afro is imprisoned by EPRDF. But it makes me wonder to know that will tens of thousands of families including political party commanders, university profs, scholars, human ideal activists, civic organisation leaders, CBO frontrunners are struggling with in Prisons and the Police arrest of Theodore is not a newer news meant for Ethiopians except considering who will end up being next.
