Teddy Afro - Mar eske Tuwaf | Reaction Video + Learn Swahili | Swahilitotheworld 

I swear You guys always have the best reaction. ❤️❤️ The song is about true love until death based on a legendary book. It's like Romeo and Juliet 😀 They both fall in love but sadly she was from a protective noble family. That was her wedding ceremony with another rich guy. 😥 But she run away to the city to meet her true love. He was also on his way back to her but he died in an accident. 😩 Her dad jumped from a mountain when he heard she run away. She become old alone after her love died.

Ethiopia musilim and Christian live together blessed country

He was actually singing about a legendary character in the book called " fikr eske mekabir" . The meaning of this book title is " love until death " roughly translated. And The characters of the ethiopian alphabet was believed to be created or developed more than 3000 years ago. Still in use in ethiopia.

No the girl playing the violin is not his wife.. Who told you this😂😂😂😂 His wife is the one in this clip and yes she is the director of the clip too

Loved ur reaction! His wife is in this video as z daughter of land lord being chastised for loving a commoner with classical renaissance church education. Long story short: setting: mid early 20th cent. Its a musical recreation of a famous fiction story "FIKER ESKE MEKABER", call it an ethiopian equivalent of Romeo & Juliet. All the major characters being depicted. P.s: Geez (Eth) alphabet evolved from sabean (yemenite) alphabet over thousands of years ago. South west arabia used to be ruled by the then ethiopian empires and hence all the ancient admixtures of cultures and phenotype. Cheers You two are just too smart together.

_Taddy Afiro is my Hero_ 💚💛❤👈

thanks for reacting to our country's song, Teddy Afro is the legend & his wife is not the violinist, she is the model & the director of this song and you both saw her at the last Tikur sew reaction at the end of the video they showed her, you both said she must be special that's her.

We have many reasons to love him 👐❤

Ethiopia is the only African country by her own Alphabet letter

He was singing about love stories. This book is Ethiopian famous literature book it’s about villages love the book called “ fikir eskmekaber” /Love from the grave / the amazing part of the the song within 5-7 min he covered the whole page of book almost 325 pages .

his wife is the girl in this video and she plays the yang and the old character. and guys if you focus on the rile catcher of Ethiopia you will know the reel buty and secret of Ethiopia. and Ethiopia has both Christian and Muslim religions there is also a history of that. for example, am a Christian and I have also Muslime friends.

Masinko is traditional Ethiopian instrument

This song tiru love . Longest book of ethiopia called.

Okay I looked through the comments and I think a lot of people (even from Ethiopia missed the story of this song)... When it starts it doesnt show you fly.. it shows you bee and shows you fire (THIS is TRADITIONAL CANDLE made of HONEY) I capitalized those because they are important information of the song. (MAR => Honey.... Twaf=> Traditional Candle) The story you you hear when the song starts is "FIKIR ESKE MEKABIR" Love until death. The story is very similar to HAMLET. This song seems like its inspired by that story. Now the story can be interpreted differently by different audiences but here is my take and I definitely would argue this is the intention of TEDDY (as a huge Teddy Afro Fan I think I can speak to that). The story is about a girl that have been given to church as a monk. Her dad throwing water (HOLY WATER/the one you use for baptism) on her is not shaming her instead he is giving her up for a church and kind of blessing her. Now what does the honey and candle have to do with this song?..... Honey is sweet and can be eaten but honey that will be used as a candle can not be eaten rather made to be burnt to be light for others. (DEEP HUH???) Now he appreciated the fact that she is being given for church but he is saying "THIS IS MY HONEY THOOOOO" haha get it? They went to school together when they were kids but when he grew up and moved to bigger city she remained as a monk... (that is the purpose of the letters it showed you they learned their first letters together) for your question I dont know how the letters were created let us know if you find out on your next video What is the purpose of religion if there is no love in it.... (THIS PART IS MY INTERPRETATION) Since he mentions GOJAM a lot of times I think this may have been filmed in GOJAM, ETHIOPIA .... there are a lot of monks there Now I think the rest of the story makes sense... since you already have reflection from others..... They are willing to die for each other yada yada yada

Iam from ethiopia guys and tnx for ur respect for us... i need to tell u sth about us Ethiopia is one of african County which is the only part of Africa not conolised by force

it's all about the blue book you see at last. The book tells about ethiopian culture especially amhara peoples.. it is about land lords and their families life, christian peoples life,the system of gorvernment. I think it have an english version its title in amharic is "fikr eske mekabr"

Almost Much has been said about the image, and the letter is from the ethiopian ortodox church

Ethiopia is officially a secular country. Around 60% is Christian and 40% is Muslim. Majority Christians are Orthodox, rest are Protestant and tiny minority is Catholic. Before Christianity, northern Ethiopians were Jews but most of them have emigrated to Israel. Ethiopia is a country filled with ancient and unique history. Bless 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💚💛❤️🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹

Teddy Afro make this music infering the great noble.fikir eske mekabir.ፍቅር እስከ መቃብር.he was brillient by generalizing the 400paper book with short poem.enjoy it.we appreciate our brother and sister.go ahead.Africa is true nature.in short the history focus on revolution and rspecting values norms.it is love novel

The story is based on a book called "Love until the Grave".

This music is all about the famous Ethiopian literature book called "Fikir Eske Mekabir" by Haddis Alemayehu which is teddy Arfo shown read at the beginning of the music, and the girl you mentioned plays violin at the live concert is not Teddy Afro's wife. His wife is the director of this music video and plays the girls role in this music video, she is Amleset Muchie!!! Teddy is a legend!!!!!! #GOAT

The violinist in the "sembere" video is not his wife. His wife is the one on this video. So basically he's singing a famous ethiopian fiction "fiker eske mekabr" or "love till death". The song is the whole book! He is a genius!

Can’t wait guys 😍

You are DEFINITELY RIGHT!!! one of the reasonsTeddy Afro is a legend is because he has a uniting spirit and his works show that!!! Thank you!! that was a brilliant observation!!!

The source of Ethiopian alphabet is the Ethiopian Orthodox church.....the church is also the source to many things like the Ethiopian calander( we celebrate our new year last month and now it is 2013 in Ethiopia).....but Ethiopia is not only Orthodox there are Muslims and other religions

Finally, the yellow dress you saw is the dress that women wear when they enter the monastery to live in the Orthodox Church.🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹

Teddy afro is the bestttttt✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

This song is about the book of Haddis alemayehu "feker eske mekaber"(love till crust).Ethiopian romance and sad ending book😥

This story is actually really amazing I feel like the book should be translated. So it's about love until death and since she was the daughter of a noble family her parents didn't want her to be with the guy but they never stopped loving each other and they thought the reason she wouldn't forget about him was because she was possessed so at the beginning they tie her up and splash holy water on her and then told her that he didn't deserve her and so she became a nun and then they get old and he comes to where she is and he didn't know her but she knew him but didn't say anything and then after some time she had a heart attack and she died

Ethiopia is Christian and Muslim but above 65% is Christians and also birth place of Christianity with queen sheba

Guys am in love with your reaction ... you are making me in reviewing musics here. #RESPECT

this beautiful girl in the video is his wife they have 2 kids luv you guys

Ethiopia is a country were a lot of Muslim and Christian live in love and peace

The girl playing the violin no no no🤣 If you remember you saw her on the video meskel square "tikur sew " u stoped and said she must be a special person 👍

Can't wait to watch the video again ☺️ Wow 😳😮 I loved it I have watched it before 😂 and it's Amazing music video ☺️😁

Ethiopia is a country of both Christian and Muslim country Christianity from 4th century Islam from 7 century .. And could be an example for the world that can live and even marry each other .. But still the majority is Orthodox Christian. And Muslim

There was a writer who wrote a powerful love story called " Fikir eske Meqabir" can be translated as love to the End or love until the grave. So this music showing that story with it's own creative and powerful poetic words and language that so powerful and electrifying! The story speaks about true love about a royal and a peasant fallen in love and even though their love bond is so powerful and spiritual, their family refused to let the lovers get married! So the end up living without each other their entire life. The girl decided to become a monk and gave up living normal life as her parents were not letting her marry the love of her life. At old age she mate him and died after 15 days upon meeting the love of her life! The story is so powerful, so do the music! Ethiopians are extremely genius people! I wish the story got translated in English! It simply steers your soul and so electrifying! Very powerful 👏

THIS song is all about a love stoty of a boy and a girl which began in the city but after a while he found out that she left him to the monastery to become a nun and he left the city to find his love of his life and he found her but later on she pasd away and he followed her as well .that was one of the famous love story book in ethiopia and teddy afro made a music out of it he is ginious

I am an Ethiopian. Thank you for everything that you did. Bytheway I love the act of the girl when she saw something unique in Tedy Afros' music.

Ita we call it giz its the language thas frome god only we use for prayeing in the church. Also our church books all sre by this language . The music about one famous love book that the name's "fikir eske makabir" its so super very good book . Relly thank you guys. Tadi the king of music in the Africa ❤

Thank you guys!!! So much respect

Teddy afro is in the house 🇪🇹

The general idea of ​​the song is Hadis Alemayehu, the great author of the book "Love to the Grave". She is the daughter of a ruler and the love of these two people who live apart from each other has reached the grave.

The pouring of water onto the girl is the kind of baptism in orthodox

you guys the best keep it up

Guys do you know the black panther movie used the washint classical from this music

Thank you guys this music is 200 years ago village history. end Ethiopia is Christian and muslim country The founders of the country are Orthodox Christians by the way guys Ethiopia's oldest country in the world He's not colonial

Guys ethiopia is constitutionally secular nation. However if u want to know about the religious make up of the nation the majority around 50% of the nation is follower of Ethiopian orthodox Christian, muslim account for about 40%, other different sects of christianity and domestic religions make up the remaining. The instrument you saw being played like violine is called Mesenko. I'm glad to see my fellow panafricanists enjoying Ethiopian test.

Maaaaareeeeesketwaf am kracking uuuup 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂u d best guys!

Incredible Ethiopia and Teddy Afro is one of the most talented Singer and an Ethiopian icon.

ethiopia is secular country with a lot of love between muslims and christians

Teddy Afro my Hero and The 1st African Black man Music king

It is famous novel called"fiker eske mekaber(love up to grave)" The story is the love between land lord daughter and low class man. the girl who wear white with red stripe in the end of the dress is the land lord daughter and she is in love with low class man. her parent don't allow her to be with him(low class man) and there is only 1 person(the man who is with the ledy who wear yellow) that supports them to be together because he knows they are truly in love. Then the low class man and the daughter of the land lord Left to the city with the support of that man. after some time before they get married he(the low class man) died then she became very sad and don't want to marry any one so she became monk(the one who wear yellow) after she became monk there supporter(who stand with lady who wear yellow) come to visit her she told him everything and she showed him the grave of her love(the low class man) and ask him(the visitor) after she died she wants to bruial with her love then after some time she died and bruial with her love .

Proud to be Africa Ethiopian 💚💛❤️

The Instrument you asked about 6:13 is called Masinqo. Its Ethiopian Music instrument. Ethiopia Majority is a Christian Country but muslims make up 35% of the population and they have been living in harmony for thousands of years. God Bless Ethiopia!!

To give a brief understanding of this song is that the guy was there the king's servant and he fail in love with the king's daughter and he was chased away to the city never to come back and the king's daughter refused to marry another man and decided to be come a nun and stay the rest of her life in a temple until she grew old but after so many years the final meet and just after she passed away and the man did the same .it is based on a true story there is even a book written for it and the tittle is (fikir esk megaber) which translates in to love until the grave or death it's really very imotional story and song btw thanks for doing this we really appreciate you. Africa together .

Tedy The African legend.

He is our Heart ***mind**** soul. Love Love Love him

this is Dj ras dag from Ethiopia, Its about a matserpiece book of Ethiopian literature by Dr. Haddis Alemayew before 60 years . It was a political book at that time , the book was written to show and criticize the feudalism government system. In fact the characters, narrative structure and the story made this book one of the classics. It was narrated through radio by artist Wegayew Negatu and the author was happy with it and he dedicated the book for him. The actoress who played the main character "Seblewengel" is Amleset muche (teddy afro's wife )

Love u guys you are best

The girl acting in the music video is Teddy Afro real wife.

my great love to you guys. i am very glad of you continue like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you bro for woiching

The meaning is so deep to understand for you

The story of this music is a book called "Love Explores the Grave". In the Orthodox Church, if a boy becomes a priest, he does not marry a girl. And a girl cannot marry if her father does not choose her. Therefore, in this community mentality, when the two fall in love, it is a music that shows the impact of the society on them. In the end, love wins.

the music story is refers from the book called fikir eskemekaber

the book he wrote is titled " Love to the Death" in its translation it is originally an Amharic Language book. you have no idea its an amazing fiction book. he just did a music of that book. for many people this book would make you cry. especially if you are familiar with Ethiopian culture and everything. its an amazing song but to really feel it would need you to have read the book.

"Amleset Muche" his wife

The story of the music is taken from the romantic fiction named 'Fikir eske mekabir' whichmeans 'Love until death'. In my reading it was my first book and it is the the best history i have read ever. And you two thanks for your reaction!

The one wbo plsy a violin isn't his wife don't made mistake. His wife is u can see her on his song called tikur sew when he finish that music on the stage finally she show up on the screen, thats his wife called Amselet muche
