Tsela’ika – Faytinga latest single and music video

My latest single and music video “Tsela’ika” (Your Enemy) was released early June 2021. It is now available on all major music digital platforms and video streaming. A link to the music video on my YouTube Official Artist channel is provided below.

The inspiration for this compelling song has its source in the plight of Eritrean young people in the diaspora. Eritrean artists living in Sweden, Switzerland, Germany and Eritrea worked together to produce it.

The author of the powerful lyrics in Tigrinya is Shishai Shumendi. Yohannes Habteselassie translated them to English, with editing support from Dominique Mathiot. They are available in the description of the music video. You can read the full text in Tigrinya and / or english from the picture below or from the EnLyrics website, the biggest song lyrics archive updated every day.

I am very thankful to all those who contributed to this great project. They include: Temesghen Yared (melody and composition), Shishai Shumendi (songwriter), Awet Seyoum Tesfaldet (Director of Photography), Kokob Tesfaldet (Video Production Director) and Nahom Debesai (Video editor).
