Please reach out to Mulatu Astatke, if you didn’t already. I know that he has been doing research on this matter through the concept of Meqwamya. Omg, how I wish you work under his mentorship. Grow Feven!🤗
First of all, I’m highly disappointed (and offended) that you’re calling St. Yared just by his name. At some point the interviewer corrected you to add Professor in front of Ashenafi Kebede but you both kept calling St Yared, just Yared. Please correct that in the future. Secondly, whatever is your end goal in digging into St. Yared’s work, please stop using his “Zema” in your worldly songs and stop calling St Mary’s name in your song. St. Yared’s Zema is not worldliness because it is originally created for praising God. As you said at some point, the “Azmari’s” tried to steal from the “Kignits.” Likewise, your digging won’t get you anywhere far from the Azemaris because St. Yared’s Zema is for Spiritual purposes. So, please take your hands off!!!
I think you haven't heard her songs at all, coz you are saying a lot of things which are not related to her purpose. First, check out her songs, and then you will understand why she is doing this inquiry. Don't rush to conclusions.
