Artist: Abraham Afewerki
Song: Zamna Haymanot
Album: Hadera

Abraham Afewerki (1966-2006), an Eritrean singer, song writer,and music producer drowned in the Red Sea, off the Dahlak Islands. It was a big shock for all Eritreans all over the World. In addition to his humble personality, Abraham was one of the most gifted contemporary Eritrean musical artists. A genius of Tigrinya music writing, and a unique Tigrinya lyricist, Abraham was one of the most recognized figures among Eritrean musicians and celebrities.

THE ACCIDENT

Abraham and Robel along with others were at a beach near the Dahlak islands to have a swim. The area where they were was shallow, so they went downstream. The Sea level increased and the sea current scoured the sand bar in the area and Robel and Abraham found themselves dropping into deeper waters. They called for help, friends and others came to their rescue and mouth to mouth resusitation was carried out. Robel didnt respond. Abraham soon after died on the way to the hospital.

RIP ABRAHAM AND ROBEL.
