  • At this, my thirteenth time listening in the past four hours, I just want to thank GiGi with all my heart, and thank you to the person who uploaded this amazing song. i have the CD but it's at my mom's. So here I am on youtube listening to this. Thank you! <3

  • GIGI is the star of Ethiopia- she shines like the north star right now...

  • The rhythm of this song is amazing.

  • gigggyyyyyyyyyyyy. love u.

  • I cannot wait to hear ur thrid album! U are a True sT@R! I cannot get enough of ur songs!

  • Hello everyone! Just discovering Gigi and was intrigued by this thread. I'm Ethiopian, but raised in the US in a small town with a very small Ethiopian community so unfortunately I don't understand Amharic or any other dialects. Will someone give me the gist of this beautiful sounding song. Thank You!

  • Agews were nubians

  • wow beautiful song, thanks for posting

  • When I hear this music I just want to go there and fix food with the people and eat with them and dance to this music. What could be the explanation for that when i am just an American white lady ?

  • Love GiGi

  • she got amazing voice..and i like her songs its very modern but still got the ethiopian culture love it

  • @MsYgh Yes. you are right and the lyrics of her songs are of , not only Ethiopiamn people, but it is universal !!

  • Love this woman!

  • I love this lady her songs r so creative and artistic.....contemporary!! I teach dance classes with some of ther songs

  • gigi and her music are so sweet. oh people, please wake up. children of 21st century are not expected to talk too much nonsense like these. ye min mekofes ye min makrarat. noone is better or worse than the other. the universal truth is we are all equal and everything else is nonsense.

  • @barakroot1 I like yr comment very truly!!

  • OMG what a singer GIGI is!!! This is music...which its instrument is so comfortable, not disturbing as in other ethiopian musics these days!! Gigi u are always my best!!!

  • they should have used a more agew beat for the music than just some congo drums.....its funny how this language is under cushitic, if you speak the language you know what i'm talking about, it sounds more throaty and actually more semitic than amharic..i speak hebrew, arabic, french, amharic, awi agewigna and obviously english lol i speak tarabic and french both as fluent as a native and the others i'm a native of. ..gigi has an oromiffa accent sort of thing going...she emphasizes the "ee"

  • @70steps2nazretskuul. Where did you learn to speak Hebrew?

  • just an idle curiosity here, while you spent a very incredible amount of time to learn those languages you mentioned above, how come you didn't consider learning the Geez, which is believed to be the dialect of the first Adam and eve??

  • @ehaydeen. I am wondering what his purpose for learning "hebrew", since "hebrew" is a language created by jews to mislead people away from the true biblical languages Amara and Tigre.

  • @ImalHasan , well well well...i'm jewish ...lol you're probably one of those african americans that are obsessed with ethiopia and believe in the whole jesus was black thing do you know the majority of ethiopians dont even give a shit about their religous history other than their yearly orthodox christian celebrations as much as you people...o please you give the country too much credit...which it deserves, but not from you, and stop thinking everyone that can access the worldwide web is a male

  • stratching head......your condesending tone towards me is very interesting considering the fact that you and your people ARE NOTHING MORE THAN CHEAP IMITATIONS OF ME AND MY PEOPLE. listen here you ORGAN THIEF, IDENTITY THIEF, CHILD PREDATOR, CANIBAL. DONT YOU EVER FEEL COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO TALK DOWN TO ME. YOUR WORTHLESS, I AM CHOOSEN. YOUR JUST AN IMITATION, SOMEONE'S IMAGINATION, AN IDEA, A SCAM, AN IMPOSTER, A FRAUD. SHOULD I GO ON. I AINT EVEN BEGUN.

  • @ImalHasan well brother wht do yo mean by predator and canibal/cannibalism?? have you read a book called ''the satanic life and lies of western history''?? its seems yo are echoing that!! correct me if i am wrong!!Ethiopians are the TRUE Jews due to the ark of the covenant, finally moved to to their holy land!!

  • abraham and the sons of Yecob WERE NOT JEWS. THEY WERE MUSLIMS.

    SO IF YOU OR ANY BODY ELSE WANTS TO CLAIM YOUR JEWISH THATS FINE WITH ME.

    BUT DONT SPREAD LIES AND SAY THAT ABRAHAM AND YECOB WERE JEWS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT.

    THE OLD TESTAMENT IS A STORY ABOUT MUSLIMS NOT JEWS.

    MEANING, FOLLOWING THE LAWS OF MOSES MAKES YOU A MUSLIM, NOT A JEW.

  • from your response, I am starting to presume you are utterly confused, I @ any point never said Abraham was a Jew!!

    Ethiopians, are one of the three sectors of the People of God who, accepting Abraham as their Patriarch, passed through the Three eschatological stages of the Holy Covenants (covenant of the soul, flesh and spirit), while the other two chose to remain either within the Covenant of the Soul, or within the Covenant of the Body (the Law).

  • y'ketele..

    To be precise, the former are the present Muslims and the latter are the present Jews respectively. so explicitly the following can be said: the era of the covenant of the flesh, which is the arkik period is not compatible with Muslims, rather it belongs to the Jews!!

    but we as Ethiopians passed through the three divine eschatological periods and as such we would presume to have been Muslims, Jews and now Christians, which a full n complete ETHIOPIAWINET!!

  • if yo are Jewish, wht do yo think makes yo to be Jew?? the old Jews were called Jew due to the ark of the covenant and when finally the ark moved to the TRUE holy land ETHIOPIA, they became the true Jews !!

    and i am Ethiopian who believes IYYESSUS is an ETHIOPIAN, born of an ETHIOPIAN mother, the virgin MARIAM!

    and i believe Ethiopians are neither black, white or red ALONE, rather they typify a united race, with black being DOMINANT!!

  • @ehaydeen , i listed those language because some of them sound similar to it and have some similar words and i was curious as to why its labeled under cushitic languages. I learned french because I lived in a French speaking country most of my life. Amharic because some relatives speak it. Awigna, my mother taught it to me. Arabic, career reasons. If you're ethiopian/eritrean you wouldnt ask me such a question as to why i didnt study ge'ez...although i do come from a priest hood family

  • @70steps2nazretskuul i am Ethiopian and am asking you again why didn't yo bother to study Geez, even though its absolutely your choice and decision!! if you say you didn't get the chance to study it, then that's acceptable !!

  • @ImalHasan , well i was born into it and i learned it while visiting family in israel every summer and also around my friends

  • What language do the Agew people speak. I notice this sound is more African vs the more Asian sound of the Amhara and Tagrinya.

  • Agews speak Agewigna...as far as I know theres two dialects of it in Ethiopia...Awi (which this song is sang in) and Khamtagna spoken by the Agews in Wag-Hemra

  • @ethioNiGisT. Are the agews mentioned by another name in the bible?

  • I dont think they're mentioned in it at all...

  • oh ok. I read that the Agews are the original people of Ethiopia. Do you know how long they trace thier history back?

  • ethiopians usually record their history orally, its hard to say anything, let alone agews' which were second to first on the list to be exterminated by the solomonic emperor with exception to of course when they themselves ruled. Agew awi's believe that 7 people and/or families came from some place sometimes assumed to be the wollo area where the other agews live and settled in where they are now...metekel/ agew awi zone...message me if you have more questions i'd be glad to answer : )

  • extermination by solomonic emperors? what are u talking about....it was just power rivalry to rule over the country...

  • no it wasn't...haha power rivalry...you have got to be kidding me. Zere Yaqob's had the alias of "exterminator of the jews" ...well most of the emperor's did at that time but agews also...sure these people weren't innocent they campaigned against the emperor awfully but they were often attacked...lol power rivalry le tigre ina amhara tewew. i like how people like you and I can come from a place where we can hide secrets about history and wait for a white man to discover it ..dont you?!

  • @ImalHasan why don´t you f...cking go to hell meeeen!!!!!!!

    your daaaamend ass is not mentioned too but at satans list.... and your mohamed was a greedy eating fat porks pedophile, evrything what he said 1400 years ago was a lie and you are livin in 21th century and still belive it you s......cker

  • @ImalHasan oooooooo yeeees!!!!!!! they are mentioned as the Gods Apokalypse Riders and your litle gay cracked muslem ass will burn at first!! hahahaha... :D

  • @383627

    lol. your pitiful and a waste of oxygen. shut your filthy jew mouth, dont you know God is getting ready to embarrass and then destroy you worthless lairs. lol. and the earth wont miss you good for nothing imposters.

  • @ImalHasan

    Asian sound of Amhara and Tagrinya? You think African sound = drums? By your logic, Hausa and Tuareg sound is Asian right?

  • i miss metekel, especially chagni...this song reminds me of my time there last summer...lol stupid hyenna's at night and speaking broken agewigna to the gumz people.....<3

  • The original Ethiopians -- Agew

  • በጣመ ነው ጂጂ ነው የምወዳት። ፭* ኢትዮንግስት ይመቸሽ።

  • Gigi is a real lady.

  • Gigi is beautiful in every way.

  • i am in awe of her beauty not just physical with her gorgeous creamy skin but that voice i feel lk im floating god i love her the only song i knew from her til now was mengadenga she is amazing

  • my song . luv  this song.

  • Amazing! :-)

  • Well done!

  • I Love picturesque landscapes & portraits of the artist and other........

    And admire her distinctive style of approach to traditional music

  • gigi sounds just like her sister 4real...........her sister sings gospel

    dey both have beautiful voice

  • Comment removed

  • who is her sister?

  • her sister iz............SOFEYA SHIBABAW.....gospel singer

  • she has three sisters from the same mother.....addis hiwet, sofia and one older sister

  • lol y ?

  • wow k her agewigna has no accent its so amazin.........proud of you for keeping your endangered language....unlike moi......but im hoping to relearn it this summer by going to chagni lol

  • If we have clear mind or if we are not resist, we could make our nation to a great nation by contributing different culture and traditions cause these are the treasure of the nation. i never speak Agewgna fluent because i was born and raised in Addis but i wish i could speak it. I know by learning it, i won't get any benefit of it but hey, this is my parents language so i RESPECT IT! Comprehenz-vous!

  • lol why is the Compredez-vous necessary i understand perfectly what u said....no need for harsh tones dude

  • Sorry man you right no need to be angry but i thought you make fun of Agewgna and btwy, i'm not dude lol

  • haha hell no man i'd be the last person to make fun of agewigna.......i would give up any language to speak it fluently like my mother and uncle.......and sorry if your not a dude lol

  • sis we are on the same path now. my parents did everything to teach us but it is so difficult cause it is way off Amharic i guess. but still altamam

  • o really? my mom left metekel like when she was 14 so she duznt speak agewigna with anyone else except her sister in law over the phone and soem other family friends......im going to western gojjam and agew midir to learn the language fluently.....apparently they developed sabaen alphabet for agew language and they're teaching in school as the regional language so at least it wont be extinct

  • You are right they are almost assimulated to the amharic people. my parets are fluent speakers i can say all my relatives speak agewgna. That is why me and my brothers and sisters could speak a little. The funny thing is my cousines who live in Bahir dar and dangla don't speak agewgna we speak better than them eventhough we were born and raised in Addis. Isn't it funny? but those whe live in Koso ber, kessa and gimja bet could speak both amharic and agewgna.

  • Damn man! How much shit do you have in you?lool Your Agew,Gondar,Tigray Jewish or Pente..lol

  • so pentes not a religion its a tribe?....wow you can be narrow minded.....and yes im each of the tribes you listes....and its not "shit" as you refer to it.....my ancestors weren't racist, despite the time they lived in......im jewish by my gonder side and tigrae side....and the agewness comes through the gojjam family....

  • I wasn't trying to offend you bro..lol It's just stunning. So you are Gondar/Tigray/Agew and Jewish? And I know pente is not a tribe. I just thought I saw you say you were.

  • yep...i am ....but my parents were both born in amhara region ...so i guess they'd only be considered gojjame and gondere lol...but theyre parents are from different places...except my maternal grandfather....he is only a western gojjame but now i think its called metekel or agew midir...but my maternal grandmother is a southern tigraen.....and my dad, well his mother is a "falasha-murai" from yismala and achefer and his dad is a gojjame...i think that should sum it up lol

  • i am Agew /from Awi/ this is a wedding song cause i remember when my sister got married, this song was sang by my families / this one is modified/. i am proud of Ethiopia and like other tribes we were neglected by the formers goverment and the kingdoms but don't try to take advantage of it. Do not preach just like Agew is Oromo!

  • So are u saying Agew are Oromo?

  • No! i read some article which was saying about the similarities about Agew and Oromo. As far as i know there is no similarities between Agew and Oromo.

  • There is this stupid Oromo guy in Youtube he says Agew and Amhara are lost Oromos and he brags about being highly educated.

  • These days poeple just talk whatever they want. If there are 30 doctors for 30 milion Oromos you cann't say Oromos are highly educated.

  • ya thats right lol......but i get what you mean i heard people saying that OLF believes agew midir is theirs and stuff....and am like hell no....and not only that but they say that they migrated up north which they actually did and went into pawi chagni adet kosober and like yilmanadensa(but that ones true) but when they said chagni and adet am like wth....and they said the language is similar...it is so not similar there is no alphabet for awi language ....but now sabaen is being used i hear

  • It is true Agews migrated from north and settled in Gojjam. that is why the language and the culture is influeced by Amharas and also they are assimilated to the Amhara people. But i don't see no connction between Agew and Oromo unless they /Oromo/ want to be everywhere. They are not claiming only the Agew midir land they think the whole part of Ethiopia belongs to them. I donot know where they get this from but i know Agew predominent people of the northern part even before the semetic came.

  • Amazing i was born and grew up in addis i speak a little this language. But gigi she doesn't have any accent. It is very amazing cause i know how hard to speak Awgne/ Agewgna

  • i love gi gi, my favriot ethiopian singer

  • G,

    bless
