The language is Amharic, the alphabet is called Fidel and the song title tikur sew means black man z song is about an Ethiopian king menelik and his army who defeated colonial italy in z battle of Adwa. Ethiopia is z only African country who never been colonialized by any other country #Proud_Ethiopian💚💛❤
I'm Kenyan and I just love how music transcends the barriers of language. I love this, even though I don't understand a word. Makes me want to learn Amharic
Give this one a try by him, called Oh Africa He loves Africa and Ethiopia, he has at least 2 songs about Ethiopia and Africa in every single album of his. m.th-cam.com/video/PzQLtQk42UU/w-d-xo.html
its about the victory of adwa, at which black african ethiopians deafited itlians ...tikur sew is to mean black man to refer menilik the king who lead the victory
Here is the meaning of full song, The language is Amharic, I was there! The concern was located in Cross Roundabout which mean Meskel Adebabay in Amharic. It was more than 60,000 People in there. The tittle of the song is Tikur sew, which mean Black Man, the song was dedicated as tribute to the victory of Menelik. Menelik was the Emperor of Ethiopia during the invaders time of Italians 🇮🇹 Menelik Won a battle of Adawa and Italy failed to colonize Ethiopia. It’s song of appreciations to all Black People. Teddy is the living legend of Ethiopia 🇪🇹
If the girl is korean, know that our fathers have fought in the korean war on the side of south korea. A battalion of Ethiopian soldiers in UN army fought and died for korea. You might know the war memorial in your home country (korea). Cheers!
More than 150,000 people were attending this concert. The song is about the victory of "Adwa" where emperor Minilik defeated the Italian troops.🇪🇹🇪🇹💚💛❤ And there is no computer graphics as u guys were saying. Meskel square is located in Ethiopia Addis Ababa. 💚💛❤The language is Amharic, the national language of Ethiopia 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹 "Tikur sew" means Black Man. 💚💛❤And Teddy Afro is a legendary singer! He is our king!! And the beautiful woman at the end is his wife ❤. I'm a proud Ethiopian 💚💛❤
@Jeff Harry Not really, I don't know who u calling a loser but both king MINILIK and Teddy afro are NOT. and I will say this a thousand time that I AM A PROUD ETHIOPIAN!! thank u!!

Oh you have no clue how great this musician is, His songs are just so deep and touching... just amazing. Very knowledgeable, heroic, brave and smart. I can't have enough of him... although there are people jealous of him, majority of Ethiopians just go crazy for him....🥰😍😘❤
😍😍😍😍I've been watching this concert of Sir Teddy it even save in my playlist on my phone which i use to listened most often.I am a Filipino living here in Vancouver,Canada who fell inloved in his music.i dont understand any single word of Amharic,Ethiopian national languages but its true the saying that Music is a universal languages😍😍😍
He doesn't have to make a lyrics and melody for us to listen to him. He can just uuuuu or aaaaaaaa and still we would listen to it. We love him that much. There is something you should know about Tewodros Kasahun aka Tedy Afro that millions of Ethiopia will do anything to keep him safe from any harm. He paid a lot for his country. He's done countless charity work. He is a true patriotic man. He is a teacher of love, compassion, & forgiveness to my people.
This is not only Jumping my sister, this is about our hero Minilik , our Country, History, our heart bit, and so on even i can't explain in words the feeling of my people Ethiopia, any ways Thank you so much!!
Dear Swahili Nation, Much appreciation for the reflection of this song I looked over the comments and I tried to see if all your questions were addressed and it seems like it was but I am going to try to see if I can better give you a better picture of the meaning for this song. 1. The meaning of this song: it talks about the war with the fascist (from Italy that tried to colonize Ethiopia) the king at the time was Menilik II. He basically called every citizen to get out and fight with the army as a result Ethiopia won the war and we did not get colonized at that time. The title of the song is "Tikur Sew" as you identified on your title for your reaction which means "The Black Man" important verse of the song is "If I did not get out to fight when Menilik called for me I would not be who I am" which I personally think is the whole narrative of this song. 2. Why the beat changes to a faster pace (the one that sounded like he was rapping): at some point the music changes to faster pace (Oromian style) because Teddy in this song is trying to make this song all inclusive for Oromian Ethiopian citizens to enjoy this song. WHY???? This part is interesting so pay attention (forgive me for my poor vocabulary ahead of time). You know the current war that is happening in Ethiopia? This fight is against TPLF the party that led Ethiopia for the from 1990 - 2018 they tried to change the story of Menelik as telling Menelik was racist that discriminated against other ethnic groups of Ethiopia such as Tigray, Oromo and they keep changing their narrative of they story they want to tell so it is hard to keep up. Now, knowing that most Ethiopians take pride of being free from Colonialism (which is not 100% true as we have been colonized for 5 years), it is something Ethiopians brag about. Now when we make Menelik as our Icon, since the other ethnic groups have been told dark stories about Menelik (they said he used to kill mothers of Oromo and other stories that are not proven to be true), it created a minor conflict of interest. Through time, the previous king of Ethiopia being celebrated and hated by different ethnicities started creating small cracks and division. TPLF have been thriving from these divisions of the country now the division have widened and there have been multiple strikes that it is hard to unite these groups. Coming back to this song this song is intended to unite the multi Ethnic groups and it worked well. However, Teddy's song have been shutdown by TPLF multiple times and he have been jailed. Now he is seen as a hero by the Ethiopian community so I hope that explains the crowd. 3. The saxphone you hear as a transition is the tune used to call the people to fight for their country. 4. He also mentioned multiple hero's of that war through out the music from different Ethicities. 5. The beautiful lady at the end is his wife whom we hope will be the future Ethiopian Queen. 6. He did not say Kidogo : he said "Our hero went out to the war with the people and he was in the front" (I am not sure who he was talking about here it might be the king or someone I do not know in history yet. Oh he also talks about Menelik's wife as she was a huge figure of leadership in Ethiopia she was a great icon for women as a leader. In conclusion, currently, there is a lot of people working to infiltrate history of Ethiopia and the news of Ethiopia so any honest and kind remarks about Ethiopia is much appreciated. That being said I have decided to subscribe, share and like your page. Thank you
All of your explanation seems more or less ok except when you said “we were colonized for 5 years” Ethiopia was never colonized, but was occupied by Italy for 5 years. There is a difference. The occupation happened while Ethiopians were still fighting Italy during WW2.. Just as France, Poland, …were occupied by the Germans during the same war. One can’t declare wining while the fight is still going on. A country is colonized when the colonizer county declares it and it is recognized by other countries.
The song is all about the battle of Adwa. The Ethiopians defeat the colonialist Italians.other Africans follow this as an example for thair independence
Teddy Afro is the king of music and Icon for Ethiopians, he has been there shaping the youths with pure patriotic heart and showing of love for the last 20 yrs and more!! Asanteni sana kwa kazi ambayo mnafanya!!! Big up! Swahili to the world!!!!
He is singing about Ethiopian king MENELIK. MENELIK IS THE REASON FOR US NOT TO BE COLONIZED BY ANY WHITE SUPERMACY. WE R NOT COLONIZED SO WE R PROUD 💪🏾💚💛❤ Thank u for reacting
Menilik Tikur sew- means Menilik the Black man. Menilik is the king that led the Ethiopian army during the battle of Adwa. Ethiopia is the only African country that succesfully defended the colonialists. The alphabet is called Geez. The girl you saw at the end is his wife. U guys should react to more of his songs.
I was at this concert, it was the best, I can't even explain it. Especially this song, Adwa means so much to us and the song tells the story so profoundly.
it's not only the love of the singer the song is about the country what king minilk did to Italians now i think you know Ethiopians love their country proud to be Ethiopian men
I love y’all’s reaction and yeah Teddy Afro I a legend not just for Ethiopians but for the entire continent of Africa. Even this song is Menelik Tikur Sew ( Menelik Black Man) Menelik was our king who fought and won the invading Italians which is why we didn’t get colonized.
I love to see the stunning effect on the black guy in this reaction. I can see that he is overwhelmed. The Korean(?) lady kept on guessing. But for the black guy, it is more of a discovery than a demonstration. He admitted that he is shocked! You should be. We Ethiopians signify black relevance and successful resistance. We are normal like everyone else. We do not like to be told how to live our existence.
It is about the victory of Adwa. Menelik was the king during the war between Ethiopia and Italy. The word' tikur sew ' in Amharic has parallel meaning with the English version "Black man". He explained what had happend during the war. He just emphasis what a black can do! He is the legend of African singers!!
the song is about our victory of adwa over Italy during emperor minilik ,, so basically the song is about the brilliance of the king, his wise wife Tayitu and several other Patriots such as Balcha Aba Nefso who played an important role for us to win the battle,,, as u can see the people are so emotional coz it is about Ethiopia our beloved country,,,,, and the title of the song ጥቁር ሰው means BLACK MAN ,,,defeating italy and not being colonized were a breakthrough for all african nations.
Teddy Afro is singing about the greatness of emperor Menelik II, Empress Taitu and the brave Ethiopians who fought agaisnt Itaalisn invasion. "Tikur sew" means black person. Emperor Menelik is an iconic figure in the African struggle for liberty and independence. He spearheaded the notion of African valor, played a historic role in forming that idea among Africans and the European colonizers alike. He shall remain a giant in the history of Black people in Africa. Thank you for your Interest.
5:41 it's like she knows the cultural dance of the Oromo I was amazed how accurate it was when he says the lines in Afan Oromo and she did that neck dance thing they do😮
its about the victory of ethiopia when we fought with Italy its all about the love we have for our country and about ethiopians identity how great grand fathers and mothers gave has the luxury of being our self with out any influencer or colonizer proud ethiopians for ever.

Its a huge concert which is attending more than 150,000 people in Ethiopia addis ababa in meskel adebabay square and we stand together for one reason for our hero menilik and tewoderos
He is Ethiopian star he is special and the one.... Tikur sew mean Black man, and minilik is the name of ou king, who defend Italian so he is singing about him how he isa hero... That girl is his wife, our Queen Ameleset... Thanks guys for choosing his songs appreciated
idk why i see this now since it's 2021 but Teddy Afro has been through a lot just because his songs are mostly about former emperors of ethiopia. He went to prison, gone through a lot because of his opinion and his love for Menelik, Tewodros, and Gondar through music. personally love his songs so much, for an ethiopian they mean alot and they penetrate the heart and fill you with joy. That is when I will say I am fortunate that I know how to speak Amharic because I wouldn't miss anything from what he says in his songs. And the lady who was in the video right before the concert ended was his wife. yes, she is unspecial, Amleset is her name. Teddy has a song dedicated to her, mare eske tuaf by Teddy Afro
Hey guys tnx for choosing this music .. Tedy Afro is a legendary artist in Ethiopia and the song lyrics is about Ethiopian independent day "Adwa battel"
You are absolutely right! Teddy Afro is Bob Marley or Michael Jackson of Ethiopia. You can only get that kind of crowd for Bob Marley or Michael Jackson.
Yes the concert was in Addis Ababa Ethiopia ... and the song all about Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia and the Battle of Adwa ... and the girl you saw in the video, she is his wife . And we loved Teddy Afro like our Eyes ❤️🇪🇹
bro he talk about the heros that defeat Italy by war you know that ethiopia is the only African country not colonized minilik was the king of ethiopia that time .
Meskel Square or Square of the Cross also called revolution square in the past is in Addis Ababa. The name derives from the celebration of the finding of the cross at the location.
that beautiful woman is his wife her name is "Amleset muche" . Tddy afro full name is "Tewodros kassahun " he is Irreplaceable great musician , we love him sooooooo much
Teddy Afro is so much loved by Ethiopian people. He was the voice of Ethiopian people when the powerful TPLF/EPRDF ruled Ethiopia. There was so much pain ... there was no democracy. During that time he was the only brave singer who fought them with his songs and he was sent to jail. That's why he is always loved!!!
i m proud to be ETHIOPIAN...........The song is about Adwa victory , a war that ethiopia defeated italy and became the only African country to never be colonized . he talks about king Minilik ,who leads the army and unite the people to get victory over italy.... he tells us in his songs that love and unity can win everything. that is the reason why the crowed goes crazy.
Teddy is the gift for Ethiopians, Eritreans and Africa. He is honest trustworthy kindhearted hero and champion in the world. I love respect honor and enjoy his songs. I love when he mention Menelik and other Ethiopian heroes. He is unique wonderful person. I love you Teddy Afro. God bless you. And your family.

Dear Swahili Nation,
Much appreciation for the reflection of this song I looked over the comments and I tried to see if all your questions were addressed and it seems like it was but I am going to try to see if I can better give you a better picture of the meaning for this song.
1. The meaning of this song: it talks about the war with the fascist (from Italy that tried to colonize Ethiopia) the king at the time was Menilik II. He basically called every citizen to get out and fight with the army as a result Ethiopia won the war and we did not get colonized at that time. The title of the song is "Tikur Sew" as you identified on your title for your reaction which means "The Black Man" important verse of the song is "If I did not get out to fight when Menilik called for me I would not be who I am" which I personally think is the whole narrative of this song.
2. Why the beat changes to a faster pace (the one that sounded like he was rapping): at some point the music changes to faster pace (Oromian style) because Teddy in this song is trying to make this song all inclusive for Oromian Ethiopian citizens to enjoy this song. WHY???? This part is interesting so pay attention (forgive me for my poor vocabulary ahead of time).
You know the current war that is happening in Ethiopia? This fight is against TPLF the party that led Ethiopia for the from 1990 - 2018 they tried to change the story of Menelik as telling Menelik was racist that discriminated against other ethnic groups of Ethiopia such as Tigray, Oromo and they keep changing their narrative of they story they want to tell so it is hard to keep up. Now, knowing that most Ethiopians take pride of being free from Colonialism (which is not 100% true as we have been colonized for 5 years), it is something Ethiopians brag about. Now when we make Menelik as our Icon, since the other ethnic groups have been told dark stories about Menelik (they said he used to kill mothers of Oromo and other stories that are not proven to be true), it created a minor conflict of interest. Through time, the previous king of Ethiopia being celebrated and hated by different ethnicities started creating small cracks and division. TPLF have been thriving from these divisions of the country now the division have widened and there have been multiple strikes that it is hard to unite these groups.
Coming back to this song this song is intended to unite the multi Ethnic groups and it worked well. However, Teddy's song have been shutdown by TPLF multiple times and he have been jailed. Now he is seen as a hero by the Ethiopian community so I hope that explains the crowd.
3. The saxphone you hear as a transition is the tune used to call the people to fight for their country.
4. He also mentioned multiple hero's of that war through out the music from different Ethicities.
5. The beautiful lady at the end is his wife whom we hope will be the future Ethiopian Queen.
6. He did not say Kidogo : he said "Our hero went out to the war with the people and he was in the front" (I am not sure who he was talking about here it might be the king or someone I do not know in history yet. Oh he also talks about Menelik's wife as she was a huge figure of leadership in Ethiopia she was a great icon for women as a leader.
In conclusion, currently, there is a lot of people working to infiltrate history of Ethiopia and the news of Ethiopia so any honest and kind remarks about Ethiopia is much appreciated. That being said I have decided to subscribe, share and like your page.

I was at this concert, it was the best, I can't even explain it. Especially this song, Adwa means so much to us and the song tells the story so profoundly.
He is our king!!!! thank u for reacting to him.
its about heroism, history and love and basically everything we Ethiopians value its amazing
this music the victory of Adwa
Long live taddy afro!!!
Hi guys, Thanks for ur love about the legend Teddy Afro. ETHIOPIAÀAAAAAAAA
it's not only the love of the singer the song is about the country what king minilk did to Italians now i think you know Ethiopians love their country proud to be Ethiopian men
I love y’all’s reaction and yeah Teddy Afro I a legend not just for Ethiopians but for the entire continent of Africa. Even this song is Menelik Tikur Sew ( Menelik Black Man) Menelik was our king who fought and won the invading Italians which is why we didn’t get colonized.
I love to see the stunning effect on the black guy in this reaction. I can see that he is overwhelmed. The Korean(?) lady kept on guessing. But for the black guy, it is more of a discovery than a demonstration. He admitted that he is shocked! You should be. We Ethiopians signify black relevance and successful resistance. We are normal like everyone else. We do not like to be told how to live our existence.
It is about the victory of Adwa. Menelik was the king during the war between Ethiopia and Italy. The word' tikur sew ' in Amharic has parallel meaning with the English version "Black man". He explained what had happend during the war. He just emphasis what a black can do!
He is the legend of African singers!!
i can't control my tear. wow Teddy afro our legend
It was long ago that I listened Teddy during my early years of teenage staying in Addis’s the dude is legend . Big luve from Muuqdishu.
Bra he spend his all life to creat thise crowd more than 40 years dud and his legendary right know thanks to God for giving us thise #KING_TEDY_AFRO
I Like this guys እናመሰግናለን ኢትዮጰያ ሰለምትወድ 💚💛❤️🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
is real i was there he is the big in the ethiopia people love him so much bro
the song is about our victory of adwa over Italy during emperor minilik ,, so basically the song is about the brilliance of the king, his wise wife Tayitu and several other Patriots such as Balcha Aba Nefso who played an important role for us to win the battle,,, as u can see the people are so emotional coz it is about Ethiopia our beloved country,,,,, and the title of the song ጥቁር ሰው means BLACK MAN ,,,defeating italy and not being colonized were a breakthrough for all african nations.
Teddy Afro is singing about the greatness of emperor Menelik II, Empress Taitu and the brave Ethiopians who fought agaisnt Itaalisn invasion. "Tikur sew" means black person. Emperor Menelik is an iconic figure in the African struggle for liberty and independence. He spearheaded the notion of African valor, played a historic role in forming that idea among Africans and the European colonizers alike. He shall remain a giant in the history of Black people in Africa. Thank you for your Interest.

He is Ethiopian star he is special and the one.... Tikur sew mean Black man, and minilik is the name of ou king, who defend Italian so he is singing about him how he isa hero... That girl is his wife, our Queen Ameleset... Thanks guys for choosing his songs appreciated
Meskel square is in Ethiopia.. And the letters are our own alphabet.. The song is about the victory of Ethiopians against Italian colonial rule
Burh this song was made for all black people u and me it makes black people proud we love you both from 🇪🇹❤️❤️
ethiopia is the only country that have her own letter it means fidel
One of Ethiopia's Gems! ቴዲ አፍሮ!!
Tikur Sew, a powerful, historically inspired album celebrating the battle of Adwa in which Ethiopia fought off Italy to remain uncolonized.
idk why i see this now since it's 2021 but Teddy Afro has been through a lot just because his songs are mostly about former emperors of ethiopia. He went to prison, gone through a lot because of his opinion and his love for Menelik, Tewodros, and Gondar through music. personally love his songs so much, for an ethiopian they mean alot and they penetrate the heart and fill you with joy. That is when I will say I am fortunate that I know how to speak Amharic because I wouldn't miss anything from what he says in his songs. And the lady who was in the video right before the concert ended was his wife. yes, she is unspecial, Amleset is her name. Teddy has a song dedicated to her, mare eske tuaf by Teddy Afro
Teddy Afro, our Legend Musician ❤❤❤
Hey guys tnx for choosing this music .. Tedy Afro is a legendary artist in Ethiopia and the song lyrics is about Ethiopian independent day "Adwa battel"
Ladies and gentlemen we got him "the music king" TEDDY AFRO
You are absolutely right! Teddy Afro is Bob Marley or Michael Jackson of Ethiopia. You can only get that kind of crowd for Bob Marley or Michael Jackson.
Minilik is a black man! The man who crushed the colonialists. The song in short.
Yes the concert was in Addis Ababa Ethiopia ... and the song all about Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia and the Battle of Adwa ... and the girl you saw in the video, she is his wife .
And we loved Teddy Afro like our Eyes ❤️🇪🇹
bro he talk about the heros that defeat Italy by war you know that ethiopia is the only African country not colonized minilik was the king of ethiopia that time .
Meskel Square or Square of the Cross also called revolution square in the past is in Addis Ababa. The name derives from the celebration of the finding of the cross at the location.
Please guys continue reacting ethiopian music
At the end of the concert he says fiker yasanfal it means love is powerful love is always the winner 🎉❤

More of teddy afro
Teddy Afro is so much loved by Ethiopian people. He was the voice of Ethiopian people when the powerful TPLF/EPRDF ruled Ethiopia. There was so much pain ... there was no democracy. During that time he was the only brave singer who fought them with his songs and he was sent to jail. That's why he is always loved!!!
7:38 “she stood in the front and led him his queen”
i m proud to be ETHIOPIAN...........The song is about Adwa victory , a war that ethiopia defeated italy and became the only African country to never be colonized . he talks about king Minilik ,who leads the army and unite the people to get victory over italy.... he tells us in his songs that love and unity can win everything. that is the reason why the crowed goes crazy.
