Old School Ethiopian Music

[Rdliid55]

this is sooooooooo cute:) lol Love it>

[29Ptah]

I love this video. It shows no matter how hard they try to tell us the we (African Diaspora) are different it shows how much we (African Diaspora) are similar. Replace with music of same era of Soul Train , there is no different.

[YOG1235]

[Abdellam65]

The music and the dancers are great. The music is labled as old. However It is new for me. I would say old music are played in the 1960 (my time). They too are great and enjoyable to listen even today. I want thank the singer and the dancers for taking me few years back.

[giacometti57]

sitting in a small swedish town watching this old video makes me smile:):)

[528jkl]

i remember " HIBRE TRIIT"

[EthOrthx]

Were they swimming in a pond :) the moves are similar to that of a fish...

[bwanna23]

i would've liked to have seen them on shindig! or ready steady go!

[salim000001]

In contrast to the new schools, the old schools are conservative types twisting around with bodies fully covered. While for the modern dancers you can't easliy focus on their performance because their private parts are so cheap, easily exposed and disrupts the attention of the viewers even if one tries to fight back!! That's the essence of modern times...lol. Anyway, Tnx Ethio4Ethio for posting this cool clip.

[NONcorrupt]

thanks for posting this video......its appreciated

[djdrgonzo]

this track is on one of the ethiopiques albums ive got but i cant mind which one sorry

[KingLouisXXI]

Does anyone else remember when it was COOL to have NATURAL African Afro's?The more I watch,the more I miss.Oh Lord.Many wars came in the Disco/Funk era,and yet there was sooo much love and acceptance going on.Gotta love it.

[KingLouisXXI]

We need to bring these days back!So much soul,So much spirtuality,so much excitement and TRUE music/entertainment.The dances were fun,and never boring.I still do them today.Haha.Funny now,but should be noted as steps forward.

[lillingtoncr]

Ethiopia's version of Soul Train?

[KingLouisXXI]

Haha.Sort of.Very nice comparison.

[strudelbcn]

Was in ethiopia agust 2007 and the way they dance is absolutaly fenomenal and very diverse for each region. A lot of movements from modern music video come from Ethiopia. it is a pitty they can't ask money for it!!

[tabada]

the singer looks like Melas zenawe

[28adrianpeterson]

this shit is gay as hell

[ethioabel]

i am not one of the dancers and i am not gay

[BasicallyBiz]

I think it's apparant from all your comments, that you guys have not seen Saturday Night Fever, because if you guys did then, you should realize almost all the dance moves here were done in that movie.

[LetItFloat]

I like the dances, they all look funny, respectfully. What would these people if they see their old moves? Especially, the guy from 2:43 - 3:30 must not see this clip, or he will die of shame, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

[ethioabel]

that was me ,, and i dont like when ppl make fun of me

[motimuatit]

Are you serious ? Is that you? .. .this is something to cherish for a life time. I enjoyed it a lot. Yimechih(wot)

[axum3000]

that cant be u,lol

[axum3000]

Are they break dancing?

[TruAfric]

what u meant? reply was 2 pples who were sayin Africans and Ethio lack of inventions. I was born north of Axum tell me more.

[borchamu]

That's hilarious, Axum. I don't know what in the name of fuck they're doing. They're droppin' in it like it's hot, though. My favorite part: 03:05. What's yours?

[axum3000]

:51.

[TruAfric]

I love Athiopians, As An African, Ethiopia represented Africa model, it doesn't changed cultures that much, from Athiopia to Abeseniaya and back to Ethiopia. Cultures remained for long time. Amharic language stayed over 2000 years. Thank, Great Athiopia, one day Africa unite to decorate Addis Ababa as Headquarters.

[axum3000]

thank you for speaking the truth.

[TruAfric]

I think we r fighting against whites ignorances and degradations. let's teach em. Thank you bro.

[roberak]

Shame on you for saying that. Amhara people and amharic language are the number one enemy of the indiginious Ethiopians (oromos) and Africans. read a book...this are the same people who claim themsleves as 'jews' not 'African or black'. If you're real African, you don't utter that word once again

[axum3000]

roberak:Shut Up!Punk Ass.Say that To meles Baria!

[sittu1803]

LOL LOL LOL

Now i know where Michael Jackson got his moves.

[B011M]

[dangonmak]

It is great clip to compare and contrast the old and the new generation music. Ethiopian music has trancended to the whole new level. No this guy's name is Esatu Tassema.

[miajnorway]

Esatu Tessema is another person.

[ethioabel]

[byrne76]

ethioabel- 78 years is my grand Father's age,that is the time of Adam and Eva,if it is true you have a 24 years old lady in your life, and if she accepts you for who you are not for what you have then that is a real blessing so be Thankful,

[byrne76]

---if he is the one in that video he should at least be 6o years old that was 32 years ago my mother was a teenager by the time this song came out,well you can go out with the old man and reminding him his younger days, he needs love too, age is just a number,

Wait, I just realized that's not the name of the singer, my bad. I guess that's the producer (Azegaj).

[Belaya4]

It is very nice music. The dancers were really much better than many of our contemporary dancers.

[Shanko12]
