Curious enough not to ignore how tech innovation shapes human nature and power dynamics.

Have you notice, @addisstandard did not say a word, despite the clear violations of free expression and artistic freedom on Teddy Afro. His songs have made shockwaves across Ethiopia even for BBC World to give him coverage.

The numbers speak with a clarity that rhetoric cannot. In the span of 6 days, nearly 79.2 million have listened, and of these, over 46.1 million are in Addis Ababa alone. No other city comes close. Not Adama, not Jimma, not Hawassa, not Dire Dawa or Bahir Dar. The capital stands apart.

There is something quietly revealing in this. In a moment when the city is being reshaped in form and surface, its people are turning inward, toward memory, toward voice, toward meaning. The contrast is difficult to ignore. While one vision attempts to recast the city in image, another gathers in sound, in shared feeling, in the language of art.

If one wishes to understand where the pulse of the nation rests, one need not look far. It is there, unmistakably, in Addis Ababa.

Every single time the regime in Ethiopia is threatened due to any kind of art....music, movie,poem,books they get so paranoid that they start hunting down the audience! This is such an established MO of the regime one can simply expect a string of arrests as soon as an art piece that opposes the tyrannical/genicidal nature of the regime drops!

#TeddyAfro who recently took the global music scene like a storm is having his colleagues, friends and his massive fan base being targeted in Ethiopia. Over a 100 people arrested already!

Not 100% percent, it has the a lot of missing pieces of our sorrow and pain.

This song is a cry from a wounded nation. It asks why Ethiopianism—paid for with blood and sacrifice—is now trampled, why patriotism is shamed, and why raising our flag has become something to whisper about. Our fathers defended this land even when poisoned, even when outnumbered, yet today silence is demanded of us. Silence never saved the innocent; it only made them easy prey.
This is pain speaking—pain for a country that raised us, pain for an identity we refuse to abandon. He cries for Ethiopia, he shouts for her, because love for one’s motherland needs no permission. Do not let anyone tell you who you are or make you ashamed of your flag.
Pick it up. Raise it. Hold it high. Ethiopia is calling her children to remember, to stand, and to speak—before silence costs us everything.

Day 1: ዳስ ጣል and ጀምበር for the win!

Day 2: It's actually የአዞ እምባ and ስምምነን!

Day 3: Wait, may be መርከብ and የማእረግ ጥግ are the best?

One thing is for sure, this thing will have a long shelf life!

Teddy Afro's new album Etorika dropped 5 days ago.

It now has 72M+ views on YouTube.
It's trending in 22 countries.
#1 in 9 of them, No 6 in 🇺🇸

This is probably the first time any Ethiopian artist have had this much exposure in the global music industry.

Let me show you how fast this is moving 🧵

I'll give the album time because for me to say anything, its very soon, understanding 18 tracks from a guy that can dictate amharic words like a wizard needs all the time

But in my opinion the only time he mentioned his own worries on a track was when he wrote
