I currently like these two songs both from the northern region of Wollo from two different groups but quiet integrated and tolerant.

Elsabet fired first by producing Shegawa, which means beautiful (you are). Normally I'm not big on Wolloye but lately I am starting to see them modernize their tunes while keeping old traditions such as the inhaling, masinko and the local flute (washint).



I can see it's heavily influenced by Gojjamee style (for example after 2:46)...crazzzzzy music. Very heavy Gojjam influence. I believe the singers and dancers are all from Gojjam but they showing love to their northeastern neighbours.



Hablaaha Wollo



The second comes from the most northern Oromo, the Rayyaa, even though the singer herself is from the east (Hararghe).



Both songs pay homage to Wollo, where Amhara, Oromo, aspects of Tigray, Afar, even aspects of Somali culture, Iroba and others meet to form what it is-----a melting pot of culture and history.

I love Ethiopian culture . I lived for almost a year in Addis

You might love their culture but they despise you and your culture.

That's your point of view as a daarood . I have lived in Addis for a year like I said , I had the time of my life. If I ever get some money , I am gonna build me a house there . Ethiopians are masaakiin by nature , hospitable and disciplined . It the hate that comes from the chaotic wanderers the somalis are that turns everybody in the world off , let's face it .

What were you doing there?

Just chilling. Southern somalis chill in Nairobi Kenya, I prefer Addis Abeba Ethiopia .

Wallahi beentey ma'aha .

Yes there are some haters on both sides but its mainly due to ignorance and not knowing anything but "the other side hates you" mentality.

That group is a dying minority.

Enjoy the music guys



Sahan,

Have you travelled outside Addis?

I have been to Nazret, Dire and Moyale but never to the north. Good times.

This time I wanna go north especially would like to see Dessie, Bahir Dar, Lake Tana and Meqelle.

Beutifull women. teddy afro is really really Good singer. Alam aliina libey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxjpIS_- ... ata_player

Unfortunately no bro. I met a guy in a cafe one day , a regular {amara}. He thought I was tigre because I have a scar on my face he thought was a tribal marking Anyway so the guy was a guide for white people , he offered to go with him in his next expedition to Gambella , I don't remember exactly why but I couldn't go .In Addis , you sense you're in Africa , oo hablooyin qurux badan waddooyinka marayaan , top !

Wallahi like Ina Baxar said Ethiopian people are really nice and welcoming,it's just when you interact with somebody in a position of authority that they they turn and become all rude and confrontational,I got locked up twice in two different places for telling habashi coppers to fuck off

I have family in Addis but I like to explore new places.

Keep it positive guys.

theYuusuf,

Your taste in music is good but bit out dated dee

Teddy no longer makes hit songs.

When it comes to male singers in his genre both Temesgen and Jacky Gosee are now popular with the new generation.

I was recently invited to Jacky's Australia concert. The entry was $100. Waxan ogaday inay horta Somalidu ka gacan furan yahin marki les cawiinayo lakin marki noqoto ariimaha bulshada iyo ixtiiramka ama wixi ina kor lo qado iyaga naga fiican.

Somali hadi lagu dhaho Horn Stars ku so gala $40 ma bixinayan oo waxay sugayan ila 1Am marki free laga dhiigo

Lakin Habeshidu waxay iska dhiibayan wayo waxay oog yahin ninka inta tacaab so galiyaay heestiisa iyo aqoonta suugaanta.

Lakin Somali will downplay and say 'why should I pay that much for music yar iyo laba eeray".

That's why their artists are millionaires and kuwa Somalida taxi bay wadan.

Personally I like traditional eskista particular Gojjam one and some times Wollo. The Gojjamees are very gifted in this art I have noticed. For example the first song when you start from 2:45 you can see why they just kill it. They also use that voice over.

Ethiopian music and culture inaba caadi ma'aha.

awrastaalow salam ambasa.
