The music, the first entrance of this song has been copied directly by K'NAAN-

Gash Tilhun Ghessese of Ethiopia: you were the diamond of our music!!RIP May GOD REST your soul!!

[scotstylefilms]

@asterchereka it's called sampling, and K'Naan has sampled several songs, including this and Yèné Felagoté.

[mesfintsadiku]

OMG! it been more tha a year, and still painfull. RIP!

[rtarbinar]

oops, no hyphen in "semitonal" :P

[rtarbinar]

this man's singing talent is right up there with ANY opera virtuoso who has ever lived! in fact, i am more impressed by him, because the smallest interval a traditional opera singer has to deal with is a minor 2nd(half-step), and those can actually be quite difficult for an untrained singer! but tilahun eats half-steps for breakfast!! it's absolutely amazing how precisely he controls his voice to deliver a clear, sharp, yet haunting semi-tonal melody...thanks, tilahun, for all the wonderful 2nz.

[selfhoodsoul]

thats great, heard k'naan america first now listening to this. I love seeing where samples have come from

[baby2mitu]

I've been looking for this song for a long time. Thanx.

[mesfintsadiku]
