I have flown Ethiopian airlines several times during the last 20 years. This song by Dawit has always mesmerized me. It is so soothing and touches the soul. I have listened it for hours. Many thanks for such a wonderful rendition.
Beautiful, trippy, enchanting, soulful....I discovered Ethiopian music not that long ago, Mahmoud Ahmed was the first artist I heard, now I feel glad to keep learning and listening to more...Ethiopia must be a beautiful country, you can tell by just hearing this music. Thanks for posting this videos. Greets from the Canary Islands to all Ethiopians.
Dawit you have done it again...great job, we hope you beat the competition out there and become famous. Please start touring the different states in the U.S. and let us have a taste of real Ambasel, real Abesha music. Cher yegtemen.
Yes, indeed, Ethiopia is so beautiful, The Culture, the Tradition, The music, The history, The people. There is nothing like it. By the way, thank you for discovering Ethiopian music. God Bless you!!
Dear Dawit, I don't need to tell you that you are a rising sun. God is gracious for he gave you to your fellow country men/women to be blessed by your talented music.When i listen this music, i said to myself that Merawi Sitot has got someone who followed his foot print and Ambassel also has got a talented chap that makes it transgress time once again in perpetuity. I wish you a successful future and long life.I also wish you to ripe the fruit of your hard work.
This singer is amazing - Saw his interview with Ethiopian TV recently and am fascinated by his humbleness, sharp answers, and demeneaour (tehetena). His dad was perhaps the most accomplished and yet lttle acknoledged artist in HagerFiker and in all of Ethiopia. The unique thing about Dawit's dad, Frew, was that he was out of his league and had lists of exceptionally beautiful songs like Eshururu, Gumu Garedogen New, Menfesen Lemades, Almaz Meneda new, etc. Keep it up Dawit - Degitu
Dear Dawit, I really appreciate your PC, it is great! I am a clarinet player, living in the US and like to hear songs from my home country. I am learning it on my clarinet. God bless you. Zerihun
"As you all know that Dawit is son of the legendary misician Frew Haillu" I was just about to ask. Thanks for answering. Frew was one of a kind. I listen to "Eyetegnu Neku" almost every day. Never get tired of that one
This is one of a kind. It is a master piece. It is a music that takes you back to the old good days. Dawit has played it so well that I really thank God for creating such talented people. Music by itself has such power to give you mixed feeling. Specially, when it is played by people like Dawit it makes you wonder what this world is all about. I believe music is not only for fun. It brings so many memories. Well done Dawit.
Do you all know the region Wello claims ownership to the four Amharic music notes( Ambassel, Tizita, Anchi-hoye lene, and Medina Ina Zelesegna).... My favorite: "Ambassel"! Man,I love Ethiopia! I love Addis!
Dear Dawit...I really like your new CD specially the Ambasel track...well played...nice video too...please keep it up. You became one of the very few people who play " AMBASEL " as it should be played. Nice Job...i hope i will be nice enough to come up with a lot more. Peace. Amlakie.
CAUTION: Do not play this music while you are driving, you might lose your focus. It is so smooth and delicieous, it may compromise our attention. I have almost gotten in trouble.
@Jodino Its a poetry in Amharigna, but a pros translation of what he said would be something like: " Isn't it better to go to Ambasel than worrying ( thinking too much) in the world of reminiscence?" To better understand the meaning, it would be good if you know about the place Ambasel and the style of music called Tizita ( reminiscence).
I love this music it is my favorite all time. I am trying to get get sheet music for my son to practice. I greatly appreciate if any body can help where to find the sheet. Thank you.
can someone tell me please..if dawit has other music i'm tryn to find them but very hard to get anything a truelly blessed with talent god bless you bro!
Hi Judino, Though it is ,i think, late, this is the translation: " Better to get to Ambasel instead of being overwhelmed by nostalgia. And his saying has got two meanings: Ambasel is a place in north eastern ethiopia as well as an ethiopian musical beat both of which are used in his lyrics as gold and wax. So, the first meaning is " better to get to Ambasel (the place ) instead of living in nostalgia". The second is " to play the musical beat and song tittled Ambasel"to be relived of nostalga".That is why he streched himself to the flut to play Ambasel-the song. Dear Judino, Ambasel is one of the Yaredian muical beats that are the foundation of ethiopian music composed by the ancient church composer St.Yared. The four beats are : Ambasel, Tizeta, Anchi-hoye and Bati. I hope i have given you some insight.Enjoy it.
