See-I - "Queen Of Sheba" (ft. Edy Blu)

Tezeta - Mahmoud Ahmed

On his recently released, self titled album, Dereb and his band, along with producer Tony Buchen, set out to  faithfully record the music of 1960s-70s Ethiopian soul. The resulting set of 11 songs was recorded using only gear that pre dates 1970 in order to recreate the feel of the dusty Ethiopian soul records that have once again started becoming popular worldwide.

From 1989, just vocal and kraar (Ethiopian lyre), and the first time - even after a long and successful career - that she recorded this classic Ethiopian 'blues'. I can remember the takes. There were a few, but we ended up using just one. This one. It was a good day.

LYRICS:

And She didn’t know how to tell him
She was In love with a Rasta Man
Fire was burning and Burning
To let out what she was holding In

I know her story before she say it
Daddy just want her Co-operate
Find somebody that’s corporate 
Suit and Tie more appropriate
Him say him naa make him daughter stray
But reggae music she start fi play it
Ital food when she sort her plate
Militant yute wah she want fi date
And that is what she need
Marcus Garvey she start fi read
Hair stop comb and it start look neat
SO him want keep her off the street from who she with
And that be me
More than a natty head is what she see
NO lovers leap is not for me
And she nuh waa keep it a secret but she cant tell him who she sleep with


And she wants to be free 
From all this captivity 
So she’ll be who she will be
They cant tell her who she need
They cant tell her who she want  who she can’t
She talk her owner chant chart her owner path 
And follow her owner heart
Call me over her own apartment
Now as I answer the phone that’s the tone she start with
She know say she don’t fi part with 
One Like I even though so much impart it
So she haffi do her owner thing
Cause she can never live life for them
Knowing that she would look back when
To the time weh she couldn’t explain to him cause then

Selah
Know what they longing for
Know what they longing for
And I’ve got it, I’ve got it
We’ve got it, yeah.

Young General a talk, tell anyone at all
Them never coulda want take a part inna harm me
Man a war inna Menelik army
See it, them a move with the message of Garvey
Can’t listen who dem elect, hardly
Dem a play fi dem part in a party
Hear say Audley start drive Audi
Beg you pardon, a Bimma me sorry
Lead who them lost we nuh follow them
Organize and form inna one again
Twelve Tribes, you nuh see we with the banner dem
Bobo Hill a talk, walk far, do nuh bother them
Ithiopia, the Ark of the Covenant
Queen Makeda, the start of the sovereign
Selassie I order we governing
We nuh inna none a dem tings, so I say

Ites I a gwaan hold
A love we living in
I&I a pass through
Greetings I bring again
(repeat)

Ites I a gwaan hold
When I&I a pass through
(repeat)

Said I took a break and I loved the break,
Now I'm off the brake, looking to make a break
At a greater stake and the flow sweet like grater cake
Sharper than a grater make
And then I take a date and a make a mate
At a greater pace, naa use razor blade
And grate my face, dem ‘fraid a me
Lyrics a penetrate
Nuh hesitate fi make tune generate
That will devastate you, Don say it devastating
With more thoughts than them ever stating
Keep them waiting like thugs in a state bing
Jail or prison system, same thing

Flee the scene with thoughts of escaping
My mind did need fi get right
Clarity wha’ we need fi get, so

[CHORUS]

Know what they longing for
Know what they longing for
Know what they longing for
And we’ve got it, we’ve got it
We’ve got it, yeah, yeah.

Track 13 from Protoje's Sophomore album ' The 8 Year Affair' (2013)

Every morning I rise
Peace to my mind when I hail Ras Tafari
Knowing His eyes are on I
Jah be my guide, I reside with the Most High
Even inna drought I nuh cry
These are the times when I hail Ras Tafari
Knowing that Jah will provide for I

I said He giveth and He taketh away
Understanding nothing is belonging to me
Earth will provide you with the necessity
Me say simplicity is what we use in these days
And Ras Tafari prophesied there would be wars
Many possessions would be lost
What you live is what you leave with, so
Hold it close, it’s the only thing that's yours

[CHORUS]

Because we know Jah we cannot walk away
Heart of the Lion is telling us not to stay far
‘Cause when it all passes away
To abide in Your presence is the only thing I pray for
‘Cause it is beautiful to know
Storms all around and You safely guide the way home
Yes, You lightening my load
Keep me right here on the straight road

[CHORUS]


Haile love I, you never forget
Haile bless I, don’t you ever forget
Haile love I, don't you ever forget
Haile bless I, don’t you ever forget

[CHORUS]

Haile is the power and the knowledge and the key
One, two, three, the Holy Trinity, yeah

Born and raised in Ethiopia with Armenian origins.
My interest in music started very early on when I used to attend rehearsals of my uncle and aunt's band, the Sevan Band. Been dancing since I was 2 years old. Enjoyed singing in the school choir and also took classical piano lessons as a hobby. In high school started choreographing for dance shows, Latin, hip hop, and more contemporary styles both for group and solo routines. 
Attended University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada had the chance to join the UBC Dance Club where I was trained professionally as an International Style Latin American ballroom dancer. Started salsa dancing socially in Canada also. 2005 moved back to Ethiopia and started teaching salsa classes, continued show dancing, as well as teaching Latin American Ballroom dancing around town, co-creator of the Salsegnochu Dance Group and danced with and choreographed for the group for 3 years.

August of 2010 started working in music full time. Started performing with the band Z Beyaynetus with Bitik Emlaelu's encouragement. I have just finished my album with Kenny Allen,  performer and producer from DC currently in Ethiopia. 
I currently am a performance artist/vocalist with Z Beyaynetus Band, the 251 band and Eshee Havana (salsa band) and Zemen Band.
