TEDDY AFRO, THE NEW REGGAE GOD OF ETHIOPIA

Around Easter 2007, I found a new friend via my friends myspace page http://www.myspace/ukfridays Her name is Rahel and is from Ethiopia. On the 22nd of December 2007 I had the pleasure of meeting this fine woman whom took me to an "Ethiopian Concert" for that evening. Little did I know that Rahel took me to see none other than " Tewodros Kassahun " ~ A.K.A ~ " Teddy Afro, the new reggae god of Ethiopia!! He is Ethiopia's most successful contemporary music star and has been compared to Jamaican reggae legend Bob Marley. My friend, Kamau Crawford, Club Promoter of Progressive Entertainment dubs him the " Micheal Jackson of Ethiopia". One of his tunes - " Halieselassie" is a tribute to the late Emperor of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie I, and a hit in honour of Olympic long distance champion and national hero Haile Gebrselassie.

Here is a video of his track " Halieselassie ":-
