Aster Aweke - You're My Excuse

[MYheroMJrip]

i think it means "his excuses" more than "you're my excuse" if i heard her correctly. (sebebu)

[fasil949]

[ethiopianization]

Our legend astuka, 'sebebegna'.

On stage: Michel Jackson= aster

[earthlyme]

@ethiopianization lol

[davisismail1comcast]

Absolutely beautiful "Africa Bumbaye", she is performing with jazz greats like David Sandborn who introduced her, this is just wonderful. I will be looking for more of her music.

[EvilPrince69]

I'm not Ethiopian. I'm not African. I'm not African-American but I am American. This is a great performance and Aster Aweke is a great vocalist, revered the world over...

...except by rednecks, hillbillies, white trash and in-breds.

There's much more to music out there than Boston and Led Zeppelin.

[sabaprom]

It is so disgusting to read some of the comments written by some good for nothing characters and losers. Aster you are our voice you are our symbol. We love you. Listen to the other sound of the great Ethiopian soul singer that we adopted on our video.

[ba252504]

Sasuma23, u don't know what you're talking about. This is a good song. I'm Ethiopian and it makes me proud.

[Sasuma23]

OMG, this "music" it is disgusting, it is a disgrace to Ethiopia. What is with her tone deaf high-pitched voice, its sickening. This lady should never sing the Ethiopian national anthem. I mean, why would you even give her publicity, her sound is, is, its terrible. Why would her horrific sound even appeal to your ears?

[ooSASHAoo]

its called originality, lol!

[princeshewi]

It is okey. We understand u don't know a thing about music. Who is your favorite singer by the way? I wonder.

[habi2]

I love you Aster I love all you song too ooooo^_^

[broukanteneh]

Nice music

[rocknhippy]

Indeed a legend! thank you for posting. ameseginalow!

[Ezayos]

Aster was my childhood favorite artist, she still is...

[MrAliadab]

[wedisegen]

i have this song on my ipod, i listen to it everyday. lol

[10fingersofdeath]

[sosimel]

[guracha200]

The world greatest.

[enelijit]

girumtesfahun, this is her song she can call it or translate it as whatever she wants to

[bohemian360]

Deagla, thanks for the information. I was not even aware of god Ea. Very interesting. Thank you again! :-)

[lebegonewd]

[mekkidu]

waw its a great work i proud of her

[teddyone80]

[dimistifu]

Proud of you going with your costume YeHaGer Shema. lov yu

[YOK5MD]

i love Aster wow and dis was a great song

[Barrynetuf]

it's a great song

[vihtorik]

its terrible singing. What is the poin of that? i think this so called "african music" is totally over rated art...

[fikle]

this is just one song, there are a lot more songs that are greater, this obviously isnt one of them and i am ethiopian and this song wasnt that great to me

[AirCanada04]

Get out of your lame old box, try something new. This is great music. "African Music" Is actually the best kind of music in the world. What I simply hate is ghetto music with R.B and Rock. Thats an different story.

[alemayehw]

Listen knuckle head, i really want to address it by ur name, however not worth it!!! First of all, you have no clue what u talking about. second, i doubt if u know whether Africa is country or continent. Third, she sang it very beatifully and artistically and am not sure if u know what that means! Lastly, Africa is birth place rythem, so everytime you hear any kind of music, think Africa, dummy!!!!!!!

[almazed]

No it is actualy ur my excuse 'sebebu' lol.Love Aster

[girumtesfahun]

Does "ante sebebegna" means to you "you are my excuse"? Or is it rather the reference is about his excuses...."ayalqim sebebih...". Aster will not disagree with this explanation. So, Sebebu is Mr Sebebu (Mr. Excuse) not "my excuse"

[girumtesfahun]

The meaning of the song is not "you are my excuse"...it is rather.."you are Mr.Excuse"

[SoccerGoalkeeper]

Ethiopia ONE! Go Aster! The one, here english is not bad though. Gobes Nesh!

[akkaaddiinn]

Yea I remeber this song in the 1980 ethiopia was on every news paper and T.V people use to get scared of us at times make fun of us I was the about 21 years old Aster came around with song around 1989 healed many of my wounds Wow tho see her on Saturday night live it was unthinkable at that time The music was arreanged by Henock and Abegaz from Ethiopia.Thanks Astu

[aberashki]

To janavius,very,very,sad!!! You are right even though we think we are free from slavery and colonization but mentaly we chain...Europeans have done, did/ they are responsible 4africa mess,train,arm to kill each other 4centuries. This young people are calling to each other name hurt, pain facing. Please spread and preech until the people get it,I like your comments.There is no such Eritreans,Ethiopians, west,north east south,africans,we catch the same hell/racism/ poverty all over the world

[AsjeJulia]

She's the reason why I have my name :d:d:d

[me0000ww]

asteryie doin her thing

[firefox8192]

THERE IS NO SUCH PLACE AS THE MIDDLE EAST. IT IS NORTH EAST AFREICA, OK. THE TERM MIDDLE EAST IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST CONSTRUCT MAINLY OF BRITISH ie., GERMAN ORIGIN.

[bohemian360]

Thank you, I am so FREAKING glad you posted this comment. I have been telling ppl that there is no such thing as Middle East. PPL look at me crazy. Then ask if that's middle east then where the hell is "middle west"

You Rock!!!!

[seechrns]

Nice one, can we all now challenge that STUPID term LATIN AMERICA? Please that term lumps together countries like Argentina and Brazil, one Spanish the other Portugues and Argentina referred to Brazil 'as that Nigger Country'. Don't even get me started on Bolivia and Ecuador where the MAJORITY are native american not white trash losers from Spain like Costa Rica... who Banned BLACK People from entering that country once. Test your 'latino' friends by asking them about this shit!

[girumtesfahun]

Just as there is a Far East (China, Japan, etc.) geographically there is a Middle East (Palestine) within the Eastern Block. Why make a non issue an issue when there is a whole lot to talk about African Music? cheers!

[bohemian360]

Thanks and I appreciate your opinion. I was merely saying that, "middle east" is a dumb terminology and who came up with that idea? Maybe you can shed some light as to WHY it is called Middle East, maybe you know something that I don't.

Thanks for you comments.

[LuizPagan]

Celia Cruz, Patti LaBelle, Sarah Vaughn... These are some of people that came to mind listening to this AWESOME woman! I wonder how much her art has to do with the healing songs of the women-led Zaar cults of the Horn of Africa and the the Middle East? POWERFUL POWERFUL SPIRIT IN HER! She could move mountains with that voice!!!

[selam00z]

i like that!!lol

[bohemian360]

Agreed. I remember her when I was about 13yrs old. She used to sign at my mom's establishment. I always loved Aster I have all her CD.

She also has a sister Yodit or Judy, but I prefer Aster, she's authentic.

[yemituhomework]

hahahah to the teferiehalile's comment..lol

[EthioDude]

I would actually define SABABU as "because of you" as opposed to "you're my excuse." I think that the former has a more positive connotation to it.

[amlakie]

I agree with you EthioDude..."because of you"

is a much more reasonable definition to sebebu than"you're my excuse."

[brhans]

ya, I agree with you. In the general sense "because of you" would be more suitable. But in context of the music, I believe "you are my excuse" is preferable.

[brhans]
