  • this is ethiopian beat!! RIP Tilahun.

    

  • Comment removed

  • he speaking somali .. i dont see anything Ethiopian about this song... damn smelly Ethioians always trying to claim somali culture.

  • @keysi07

    He is talking about the  beat and if You lesson maybe you hear what Ke'nnan is saying about Ethiopian beat. you dumb fuck.

  • u motherfuckers are dumb as hell the lyrics are somalian but  the beat is ethiopian

  • i dont have anything against ethiopian people but the ethiopian government doesnt wanna c somalia be peace they stole our land rape our women they holding western somalia ogaden region hostage they are somalis who r muslims where this song originated they speak somalian

  • thats not ethiopian its somalian language he says haj ethiopian are christians they dont got to tha haj come on kanaan u knw thats somalian

  • I am Ethiopian (big up abesha) bt we east Africans have to stick together and he was singing an Ethiopian song in ethiopia so that means he respects us so y can't u do same n if u think we hate u ur wrong...

  • I love you K'Naan!

  • K'naan is a Somalian like me and the rest of the somalians on my cHannels backgnroudn pictures, so K'naan is deffinetly not a ethopian...

    even tho in eastern-ethopia the Somalian Ogaden-region is home to a couple millions of somalians, infact the largest most numerous Somali'an sub-Clan = the Ogaden-Clan Somalians, of the Cushitic Somali tribe... and it is the biggest region of all of ethopia, us Somalians traditionaly and ethnically OWN most of east-africa = Somalian = HORN of AFRICA

    !1!

  • Somalia,Djibouti and Ethiopia= powerful and beautiful people

  • this is the most famous childhood song for every somali kid and i know it word by word man my b that ethio singer copied from a somali kid lool

  • @yuusuf46 check out on youtube the original music by Tilahun. here is the link, enjoy it: "A Tribute to the Late Ethiopian Great Tilahun Gessesse RIP"

    this doesn't undermine K'naan's greatness

  • em ETHIOPIAN i love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu man. u re th best. u like u're poeple and africa god bless u

  • kkkkkkkkkk oooo walahi cadi mahan k . nan

  • WHW....this is somalian song as he is speaking in somalian and he is got the somalian flag behind him in this video. there shouldn't be no argument about who he is..HE IS SOMALIAN and ithiopia is our brothers and sister so if they post this that shouldn't be a problem at all.............so please lets love one another and stop hating each other!

  • @haydan3381 ya man...ethiopians have nothing against u guys but ...some somalians think we hate them

  • @dazebhen1 i think you missunderstand cushticsomalianmale, what he meant to say is culturely somalis are and have a strong influance in every part of east africa, for what its worthy i love ethiopian people and consider them my people but successive ethiopian governments (including hailey salasie) have been western agents and our enemies for so long so its very natural to find anti-ethio somalis and its mainly all talk most somalis would accept ethios b4 other africans, arabs, whites and such

  • I don't understand why Somalians run their big mouth on Ethiopia when there is nothing productive they can do to their own country. Clean you mess first and be civil among yourselves. Then other countries will respect you. Since you don't have that level of maturity, your country will remain a zoo. You have a long way to go before you compare your zooland to Ethiopia. You can learn a lot from K'naan by the way. Grow up for a change! Ethiopia doesn't hate you!

  • K'naan is a Somalian like me and the rest of the somalians on my cHannels backgnroudn pictures, so K'naan is deffinetly not a ethopian...

    even tho in eastern-ethopia the Somalian Ogaden-region is home to a couple millions of somalians, infact the largest most numerous Somali'an sub-Clan = the Ogaden-Clan Somalians, of the Cushitic Somali tribe... and it is the biggest region of all of ethopia, us Somalians traditionaly and ethnically OWN most of east-africa = Somalian = HORN of AFRICA

  • @CushiticSomalianMale Somalians like you put Somalia where it is today.Wise up,grow up and clean your mess before you talk rubish! Talk behind a screen doesn't make you important. Action like K'naan makes you respected. I have never said he is Ethiopian. We Ethiopians love him and love Somalians. You have so much hate over us but you are free to run your mouth. You know Ethiopians will slap you when necessary! So keep barking just don't dare us.You know the result!Respect your people first!

  • @CushiticSomalianMale dude chill ....its funny how u guys just pick a fight with ethiopia...we did nothing but be noce to u guys....own east africa my ass....ethiopia used to own the whole area including yemen...but we dont need much to be happy so we let it go

  • @shewatabet oh yea look at ur country its poor as hell too and u guys hav aids we muslims we dont fuck evrything like u hoes we die for respect

  • K'naan is a Somalian like me and the rest of the somalians on my cHannels backgnroudn pictures, so K'naan is deffinetly not a ethopian...

    even tho in eastern-ethopia the Somalian Ogaden-region is home to a couple millions of somalians, infact the largest most numerous Somali'an sub-Clan = the Ogaden-Clan Somalians, of the Cushitic Somali tribe... and it is the biggest region of all of ethopia, us Somalians traditionaly and ethnically OWN most of east-africa = Somalian = HORN of AFRICA

  • why the fuck is it that most of the comments on a knaan video are arguements between somalis and etheopians? i don't know how people can remain angry after listening to such beautiful music.

  • @WillardE4 indeed you got a very good point, regardless of where you from, i see you as a friend and a fellow hue-man broder/sister.. just because of the righteous comment and point of view you just shaired with youtubers, amongst the midsts of all this hatred and jelousy of my Somalian worldfamous artist from east-africa = the Somalian Horn of Africa = Somalia = Africa's biggest Coastline country!!!!!

  • @CushiticSomalianMale yeah, we're all african aren't we, and even if someone is not african, who cares! cause i truely believe that we are all able to communicate through music, and music is meant to create feelings of happiness and joy not hatred.

  • @WillardE4

    indeed i agree with you 110% regardless...

    thanks for your insight....

    Peace

  • ey stupid you know what ethiopia is poor is the country this wold we are peter ethiopia that u know and your mother know that bullshitt kis me black aaaa

  • @aethiopidking most land in ethiopia are origanilly inhabitted by somalians, oromos, and sudaness but the facking tigrey colonize the all.......u moron

  • @tajir45

    are you saying that somalis are native ethiopians? if yes you need to shut your fucking bantu mouth ok! listen freak since when colonize tigre sudanes? the abyssinian race or habeshas are from the same stock as the real ethiopians.go get some knowledge about ethiopians or shut your fucking mouth bitch!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @AethiopidKING I feel sorry for hateful people like you. Don't comment on my videos.

  • @TrueL0ve93

    ni9 shut the fuck up punk azz fool.i see you are eritrean ni99er, eritrean rats need also to get out of ethiopia.

  • @TrueL0ve93

    Thanks for the upload of this Somalian artist called K'naan which means the traveler in the eastern-Cushitc Af-SoMali language.....

    Thanks again, and ignore the hateful commentators, indeed they havent got anythin more beneficial to do, other than act like internet mafia's.. lol so again thanks...

    Peace

  • @TrueL0ve93 Don't worry that inbreed swamp rat, he got cursed out, by some East Africans so he is still hating

  • no hate no more discrimination between us,,,,,,,,,we are one no fucking matter how those political idiots separate us,,,,,,,how should i hate my poeple? no way that's sickness i love my poeple Somalis and Ethio,,,,,,,i can't ended up my live with freaking hate in my heart

  • your somali not a habashi, somalis and ethiopians have been enemies for over 500 years, you can't say political idiots separate us, they are the ones killing us, we are defending our lands, our honour and our people, get it? there is no politic in somalia , thats why you can't say "political idiots separate us" . instead of loving another country more than your own start to fix and help your own people, i will hate all ethiopians untill my people gets their rightful lands back. Somaliweyn, peace

  • Nice mixing Ethiopian beats with HIP HOP. Good he acknowledges that the beat is Ethiopian. He is a true Somali. He was in Ethiopia performing and it was great.

  • people just enjoy the song. its good and i have respect for k'naan. people who are complaining are immature. genetically we are the same ppl?? just with borders. Ethiopians,Eritreans, southern Yemeni, and parts of somalia. are all geneticaly the same. I do blame our communist era for this hatred. but com'on. lets have peace. at least were not white??

  • no, we are not the same, ethiopia is not 1 people, it is many different ethnic groups in one country wich many ethiopians disagree with, somalis are NOT ethopians, we have our own language , we have our own bloodline and our own lands, wich some of you have taken ffrom us, we somalis are somalis wich is a ethnic backround, we are not amharo nor tigrey or gaal modow/galla/oromo, if we were the same people then why do you kill us, why wont you give us back our lands, why do you hate us?

  • This songs is sample is from ethiopian artist Tlahoun Gessesse the song is called Lantchi Bhe its on the Ethiopiques 17 its the second song.

  • and k'naan is a man wich have no hatred for other people,he loves all africans and do you know why? he does not know what i know, he does not know our history as well as i do,he do not know anything about ahmed gurey/gragn or sayid muhamed abdullah hassan,he does not now anything about wiil waal.he has only heard their names and not anything else,i love k'naan,but this song is a somali song in a ethiopian beat,thats all,it does not mean ethiopia or ethiopians have something to do with this song.

  • @shishisennin what history do you know that knaan don't know? both Gragn and Sayid Hassan has a big statue in Mogadishu. They were in your history curriculum. You are just spitting the sensational History they spoon fed you. Hassan was a reigious freak just like some of you guys today. He was not fighting the colonials he was stealing from the Brits and Hides in Ethiopia,

  • And steals from Ethiopia and hide in Somalia. After a while British chased his out with 12 soldiers and Ethiopians distroyed his army. Finally he hide his identity and believed to have died in Arsi Ethiopia. If he was a real fighter he would have been loved by Menilik. Study Menilik and you will know he is not some coward expanding his empire. He fought clonialists. He cooperated with muslims from south to stop colonialists owning Africa.

  • @Kazza627 in the 1977 war ethiopian army outnumbered ours 10-1 plus they had logistics and weapons support from russia, america and, cuba albeit america were with us at 1st but changed sides becouse we would not let them dictate our hearts souls, ethio and other african neibours have always been the wests pet dog, my dad, cousins and uncles were fighting in that war and i lost family in it but i would forgive if it means union for the horn based on our brotherly blood ties and nothing else

  • @ethiolove098 u fuckin liar his not even speaking ethiopian its somalian when do ethiopians go 2 tha haj u guys r jews and christians and we r muslims

  • YO what´z wrong with ya all damn just enjoy the fucking music who care about ethiopian and somalian ppl uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuf just have fun or get ur sorry asses of the chair. uh uh uh!!!

  • this is not a ehtiopian hip hop mix it's somali i know this song sins i was a child!!!!!!!!

  • "Historic Enemies"?? wtf dude

    Is that why Somalis see Ethiopia as their second home?? Is that why there are hundreds of thousands somalis chilling in Addis??

    You fuckers, being opportunist of our weakness, tried to invade Ethiopia in 1977 and was repelled, end of story!!!

    We know what used to happen to Ethiopian refugees in Somalia, But Ethiopians are not savages even in the heat of war and ur fucking ass know it

    And Yeah, art is universal especially when it comes to Knaan, I enjoy him!

  • @Kazza627 , listen, why is somalis go to refuge to ethiopia? because it's close and they can't afford to go to any other country far away, they don't only go to ethiopia, they go to kenya, and yemen, and djibouti but djibouti is a somali state so that does not count as refuge. and you talk abour 1977? before you talk read the history mate, ethiopia could not win against the somalis alone, thats why russia and cuba had to help, otherwise we would kill you all and if you read you'll know it.

  • you know that you would lose BIG if you diden't call for help after cuba and russia, we reached addis in just a few month...what would we do in just a few years? same thing happend in 1529, we conquered ALL of ethiopia until the portoguse came and helped your sorry baboon pig eating asses out, we killed your king, we destroyed your churches, we even destroyed Lake Hayq , Lalibela and the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion.

  • in 1977 we took jijiga and the rest of the ogaden and harar, dire dhawa, yangudi, bale mitz, awash, awasa, nazareth, and the next target was addis ababa, and that was when you relized that you had no chance at all, that was when you called the russians and the cubans for help because the americans switched side to somalia instead of ethiopia, they wanted to be on the winning side, since america and russia were enemies in the cold war, russia switched to ethiopia and helped them, so what, habash!

  • @shishisennin In 1977 Somalia had the best equiped army in Africa. You didn't build it, Soviet armed you. Ethiopia was in termoil. War from north with Arab and Egypt funded enemy. Sudan helping insurgets from west. Many generals killed by Mengistu. The last few money we sent to buy arms from America was taken. And they helped you invade Ethiopia. To claim the few Russia and Cubans who came with the new purchased weapons for maintainance won the war makes you look even more coward.

  • @shishisennin Ethiopian airforce with only 4 old migs destroyed your latest 28 migs. If you had a chance, could have bombed all our cities. We lost one mig in 5 days war you lost 24 of them.The war was to dismantel Ethiopia which stood for Africa and it is too bad you were instrument in this shameful act.

    Eth. taught and trained Mandella, helped liberate Zimbabwe, mozambique etc.. It even helped you somalis liberate from colonials. U r Too stupid to get it. Colonializm has warped your mind

  • @Kazza627 What do you mean Somalis in Ethiopia? The largest province in Ethiopia is Ogadenia...Why can't you let those Somalis secede? Because of oil?..There is no such thing as Ethiopians because the vast majority of the people that in that land are held against their will. The largest tribe in Ethiopia are Oromos, the third largest tribe in Ethiopia is Somali...so how are Somalis in Ethiopia opportunistic? Why don't you let them secede? 1977 your country got aid from 5 nations. Communist scums

  • ogaden is ethiopia bro and we are not enemies our government is enemy with yoll.

  • WRONG! ogaden is not ethiopia, if it was why would the somali people step up to fight for their lands? Ogaden has been somali for thousands of years, thats were the somali tradition came from, i am not from ogaden, and by the way, where did the name ogaden came from? huh? the proof is there! ogaden is the name of a somali clan, thats why the region is called ogaden, because that somali clan called ogaden lives there! ogaden was given to ethiopia by britain, read history you prick.

  • I salute him - a genius human being that represent black ppl all over the world.

  • what's wrong with u bro.... politics have nothing to do with music or entertainment.

    we should appriciate k'naan for mixing up the 60's ethipian music /legend Tile/ with todays hiphop..

  • ignorant son of bitch...got to change history and rewrite it. but your ignorant narrow mind is still stuck in the past and won't come out till ak 47 gets your 32 teeth out. if true Somalian is that way then same thing needed to be done

  • and you said "ignorant narrow mind is still stuck in the past", don't you understand? our history effects what happens today, thats why you need to read history to understand why things is like it is today, if you read Somali history you will understand why there is war in somalia, and why somalis hate ethiopians and why ethiopians hate somalis.

  • He displays our flag eveywhere he goes.

    What a Legend

  • Alla yaa usheego

    tinta ushalleyo!!!

    Genius

  • this is not ethopian shit.. its somali. i use to sing this song when i was young. shit i still do...lool and i have a friend name asha.i use to sing it to her. but zamzam wasnt her friend..shit i was. so he should say naya sagal but dont really say naya aight. lol

  • The beat is Ethiopian not the song!

  • Mohamed Ahmed was a great ethiopian singer from 60s and this was his tune - the lyrics are Somali child play but K'naan gives respect where respect is due and don't be surprised if samples Sudanese or Umm-Kalthum or Bollywood..cos Mogadishu was a melting pot for all african, arab, indian back then

  • It wasn't Mohamed's song, it was Tilahun.. the Greatest ever in Ethiopian music.

  • wixii ciyaalka markaan ahaa an ku heesi jirnay uu u qaaday kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

    W00T W00T!! lol so mohamed is ethiopian singer or somali?" indeed we are, yet to the dumb,uneducated, and blind negros we seperate ourselves from our common brothers and sisters worldwide, regardless of location.

    A statement[phase] which is said at my children's African center school[Lotus Academy and Khepera charter school] that I proudly utter everyday," WE ARE ONE ALWAYS"

  • i am sick and tired of seeing hungry and begging ethiopian in my screen in the last 30 years dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm­mmm

  • i love somalia n we are all THE SAME PPL...we are brothers and sisters

  • UNITY & ACCEPTANCE=PEACE You haters of specific ethnicities are poisoned by common ignorance. Ignorance is not stupidity,though, so please have the sense to erase your hatred and free yourself from a mental state which has caused violence since pre-history. We all turn to dust. We are all one.

  • Chq15gud,your problem dude.

  • The hell with ethiopia.We share nothing.Our religions is different,our ethnicity is different,our language is different. I say to ethiopia: Go to hell!

    Long Live Real somalis,not this stupid abdullahi and gedi.

    Peace

  • I you have any idea what PEACE is you wouldn't dare to use it to conclude you hateful remark.

  • you should know that more than 50% of the nethiopians are muslims

  • we use to sing this song when we was young nad he wanna make good song we not accept that hees feecan la i mow man

  • this song has nothing to do with ethiopia, its somali folk song

  • fuckkkkkkkkkkk habush and fuck evry habashi man i hate this volk

  • thanks but i have them already. Yeah once he gets big i reckon he will still be down to eearth like he is now.He's on a different level to all the other losers who call themselves artists.

  • K'naan is a great singer and person, met him a few times and he is so humble. What a lovely person to have representing us Somalis. By the way this song is by TLAHOUN GESSESSE an Ethiopian artist.

  • yeah, my boyfriend met his brother at this show, he was looking for something and asked my boyfriend for help. They are completely regular guys just walking around [assuming no one knew who they were before the show]. I cant wait until he gets big, and he will.

  • oh, and I have the rest of his show posted as well if you want to check it out, the songs are in my videos :)

  • this is so good- would love to see him live; ethiopia, somalia we are all beautiful black people

  • Right now he actually opening act of for Justin Timberlake.

  • way egzir at least at least pls learn to pronounce..

  • Its so good to Somalians and Ethiopians Reuniting for once! I am very well proud and the positive comments! We are one anyway and what ever happened in the past is done. But i am very well proud of this vidoe and the responce. God bless Somalia and Ethiopia!

  • u so dumb can't u see what those habashi r doing to our beautiful girl in somalia they repping n killing our people.. U so dumb as Abdullah Yusuf dumb ass.

  • oUR BEAUTIFUL SOMALIA...live in peace with the other ethiopians....unite.

  • SOMALIA and ETHIOPIA...ONE LOVE

  • He is good. I liked it a lot.

  • The Beat is From the Ethiopian SInger Mohammed Ahmed in the 1960's.

    Secondly, he is speaking Somali yes. But Somali is spoken in Ethiopia also.

    The the Southern Area in Ethiopia speak Somali. I think Somali is Ethiopia's 5th largest spoken language.

  • W00T W00T!! lol so mohamed is ethiopian singer or somali?

  • this guy is brilient man.. who'd have thought smt like this...he is geniuse....by the way, the song is somalia but the beat is ethiopian..don't get confused..

  • Actually these type of mixes has been done by other Somalis and Ethiopians.. Africa unite..

  • Hey guys same I thought what this Ethiopian title cause its SOMALIAN .... but please who ever posted this video please change it or add Somali ... cause OTHERS would assume it's the Ethiopian language he is sing in and its not its the beautiful LANGUAGE SOMALI :) .........

  • K'naan is a brilliant! love him! have seen him over 7 times and cant get enough :) best dance hip hop ever

  • ok maybe some of us need to read about African history in the 60's :)

  • the track is old skool ethio jazz from the sixties

    he explained that right at the start. He didn't call it Ethiopian he said he was introducing "a new sound"

    prolly the title of the clip is confusing. They have to invent something new for K'naan he is blazin trails and defying definitions.

  • Why in the world is he calling it Ethiopian?

  • I agree, amn totally confused because he is speakin Somali..

  • Correction brother/sis.

    Actually, the song is taken from the Album Ethiopiques vol 17 (tlahoun gèssèssè). The song is called "Lantchi biye" and sung by thee legendary old skool super cat Tlahoun Gessesse.
