Ok so everyone knows Tilahun Gessesse, the Ethiopian Musical
legend, an iconic figure in the history of Ethiopian music. Tilahun Gessesse
dedicated his whole life for the evolution and growth of Ethiopian music. I
have been listening to his music as long as I can remember. And I tell you his
songs never get old. Tilahun Gessesse probably had released more that a three
digits count singles, but every Ethiopian listens to every one of those with
such enthusiasm. This is probably because his songs in one way or another
showed as a reflection of our life.
That being said today I was listening to his superb songs
and I have decided to write 6 reasons why his songs mean a lot to me. I hope
you share my thoughts.
Reason 1 – You can genuinely see that he does what he does for
the love of music, not for money or fame.
Reason 2 – His songs always carries such a powerful message
that we eventually face in our lives if it didn’t already happened to us.
Reason 3 – The melody of his songs will never get out of
your head once you listen to it.
Reason 4 – His voice is just one of a kind.
Reason 5 – His love for his fellow Ethiopians is inspiring.
Everybody remembers his emotions while singing for the 1977 drought in
Ethiopia.
Reason 6 – Even at his retirement years Tilahun Gessesse was
never tired of entertaining us with his remarkable musical gift.
These are some of the reason that I can think at the top of
my head. I am sure most of you will have so much to add to this list. Besides I
don’t consider myself to be an expert music analyst but just writing what I feel
as a fellow Ethiopian music fan.
Any ways I think I’m going to stop here for today. I hope
you enjoyed this article. By the way if you what to listen to Tilahun Gessesse’s
