There is some Amharic in it, but the majority of the song is in Hadiya I think.

LOL, Ethiopia has officially reached its stage of "Beef", when it comes to hip hop, just like American rappers.

I think its a threat to Teddy Yo, his lyrics are amazing (I couldn't stop laughing)

If you want an mp3 out of it, go to listentoyoutube.com and rip it. That's how I get all my music.

Abesha:

Hadiya - Where is it spoken?...

never mind...just did some googling. i am guessing that jackets from traditional fabrics with traditional colors are done for the sake of this video or people actually wear those?

I believe they do wear it, although I really don't know much about the people.

From pics I've seen online, it seems that it's their traditional outfit.

It's a hot track, love to hear it in the club.

Some Agew music - I know next to nothing about the Agew people or culture, but I've been told it's similar to Amhara.

Their dance seems to be a mix of different ethnicities (I see some moves I always associated with Wolayta and Dorze for instance), very cool.

^^ Talent.

Well, the Agew people are basically what Amharas were before eventually adopting a Semitic language. The Agew language thus forms the substratum of Amharic while still remaining firmly a Cushitic language.

Degenerate. Is that Amharic or English? I can't tell. Just as I'm sure it is Amharic, I hear English, and just as I am convinced it is in English, it sounds like Amharic. :?

Is this really what we're exporting from the States these days? :ohno:

CopperWire "Phone Home" Official Video

vVLGVx6ro58

CopperWire is a collective comprised of Gabriel Teodros, Meklit Hadero and Ellias Fullmore (aka Burntface). The trio combine for an outer-space meets Ethio-diaspora exploration in the clip for “Phone Home” — which features footage of “the first hip-hop shows in Gondar and Harar (Ethiopia)” and NASA recordings of the cosmos. The music video also boasts appearances by Ethio-Jazz godfather Mulatu Astatke. Watch it above and grab CopperWire’s Earthbound LP, out tomorrow on Porto Franco Records.

indicates the act of walking, or movement of the feet as in a dance. Here, Flavor is indicating that the girl in question is light-footed—walking around easily from place to place or of nimble gait. He concludes that she may be a call-girl with the word Ashawo (prostitute)

Pretty much the sound that he imagine a hooker makes :lol:

Some was Nigerian? Ethiopian? Jamaican :?
The original is a little dirty so I'm not sure how it translated in the Ethiopian version :lol:

interesting...thanks Arinze.

Why is he singing about "Africa" when 90% of the video is specifically Ethiopia. Might as well call it "Made in Ethiopia".
