ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Here are my latest music video picks. It is by singer Gossaye Tesfaye. I have to admit that Gossaye is one of my favorite Ethiopian singers even though i believe there have been too many copy cats of his (and Teddy's) music style in Ethiopia, so much so that the repetition has bored many people to death. But he is an exception. This song titled "Wegen Tesebseb" has the "YOUTUBE record" for the most viewed Ethiopian video ever! It was the first Ethiopian video to pass the one million viewers YouTube mark.  The video does not have that great quality but the messege tells Ethiopian people to "come together." 

Gossaye is also inside the famous video "Balageru III," which actually has a much better quality. The dance scenes in the video are excellent, mixing the modern "Harlem shake" with its ancient form and predecessor "Eskista."

Enjoy my 2 picks below.
