Popular Ethiopian musician Teddy Afro, also known as Tewodros Kassahun, is well-known for his lively and frequently political songs.
Afro, who was born in Addis Abeba in 1976, had his breakthrough with the release of the album Abugida in 2001, and he quickly rose to fame in his native country. Reggae, traditional Ethiopian music, and pop songs were all combined in Yastesereyal, his second studio album, which was released in 2005. Its divisive title single, which denounced governmental corruption in the country, quickly became popular.
Four of the album’s songs were subsequently removed from the media, although Yastesereyal’s popularity and sales didn’t suffer.
