I was impressed with the Metahua video when I saw it. Yosef Gebre aka Jossy is a very new school Ethiopian musician and has potential to be bigger. The Kora awards already nominated him as a promising artiste. We chatted with him about his music, and his thoughts on Ethiopian music. The interview transcript is below.

Museke.com: Can you tell us about your background and family?
Jossy: I was born in a town named Dilla in southern Ethiopia and I come from a family of total 10 children- five boys and five girls. I am the 6th child. I grew up in beautiful city of Nazret and completed my high school education there. Then I moved to Addis Ababa and currently reside there.

Museke.com: How did you get interested in music and when did you realize you wanted to take up a music career?
Jossy: Though my family generally loved music, my father especially appreciated it. He used to send me out to buy records and I sat with him enjoying different songs. I used to sing daily just for the love of it but it was in 2004 when I decided to make it into a career.

Watch the Bob Marley video by Teddy Afro

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.
