Also,teddy borrows orthodox church stories to beautify/embellish his songs. For example 'ekedeke seytan yehean beth lasretchew, oona indekereme yaqazjegnal minew?' is a musical genius which resonates with millions of people in Ethiopia. his perspectives on music and life is deliberately biased to Ethiopian way of viewing life despite the fact that he lives in the decadent west namely America. The song is nostalgic & a deliberate act emanating from knowing yourself and your roots.
Asking that question is the start of understanding the 'sum ena werq'. Yes Teddy has many songs that include Ethiopian proverbs and sayings in his songs . I am big fan of him. he keeps his cool and wit and comes up with timeless musical pieces. i love him. one of the evidence of that fact that he is a high and different class is that the musical giants like Gash Mulatu Astateqea collaborate with him. Teddy is simply talented musician who knows what he is doing.
MULATU ASTATKQE AND HIS TALENETED COLEAGUS MIXED THE ETHIOPIAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC WITH THE OUT SIDE WORLD. THANK YOU

I love this song. But many people say this song has a hidden message like "sem ena work". Is this true?
