Teddy Afro - Ethiopia's Bob Marley? Video inside
By Chale - Posted on February 2nd, 2007
I first heard about Teddy Afro from a Habesha friend who was prepared to do all he could to go to his concert. Then, I only knew him as a popular musician from Ethiopia.
Now, I know more. And you would to.
Here is a video for starters.
Teddy Afro, also known as Tewodros Kassahun, sings in Amharic and is probably the most famous Habesha musician. Friends of Ethiopia blogs about how Teddy's music got banned from Ethiopian radio because opposition parties used it as propaganda.
His Shemendefer song is believed to have inspired many new marriages in the "land of 13 months of Sunshine". It is a love song about the love of a Christian and a Muslim.

For those of you who don't know, Teddy Afro has been jailed in Ethiopia for running over a man and killing him. It is understood that Teddy Afro was on the wanted list of the Ethiopian government and this incident was used as an excuse to jail him.
I hope he can still make music out of prison, does anyone know if he has?
TEDDY IS A VERY HEARTLESS PERSON U DON'T KINOW HIM BUT I THINK HE IS LIKE THAT HE CAN KILL RUN. WHO IS HE AN ANGEL? FUCK TEDDY THE MURDER!!!! I HATE U UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU , WELL I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY !
If you have nothing to say, at least don't insult Teddy Afro.
It's very sad Teddy Afro had to be imprisoned. I heard the government has been out to get him, and this motor accident was the incident that fell him. I know his case is in court, I wish him the best
