Ethiopian music icon Tewodros Kassahun Germamo — known worldwide as Teddy Afro — is bringing his landmark Teddy Afro Dubai concert to the Coca-Cola Arena on June 30, 2024. Hosted by G-Power, the evening promises a rich blend of Teddy Afro's modern sound and the deeply rooted traditions of Ethiopian highland music.
About Teddy Afro
Revered as one of the most influential Ethiopian artists of all time, Teddy Afro has built a career spanning more than two decades on reggae fusion, traditional highland rhythms, and lyrics that speak to faith, love, and social conscience. Many Ethiopians call him the Ethiopian Bob Marley. His debut album Abugida (2001) launched him to national fame, and albums such as Tikur Sew (2012) and Ethiopia (2017) cemented his status as a generation-defining voice.
His 2005 track "Yasteseryal" — a pointed critique of government corruption — made him a political and cultural touchstone beyond the music world. Audiences at the Coca-Cola Arena can expect a set that moves between his politically charged anthems, soul-stirring ballads, and joyful celebrations of Ethiopian identity.
