  1. Wow! That’s great news for those folks that leave in the US.

    I hope the “molkaka” Zeritu would not create unwanted controversy. She is accustomed to it.

    Other than that, I love her stage performance. She is really queen.

    Abinet, well, if anyone who watched the live show at the millennium park in Addis Ababa remember how difficult the night had been for him. I hope this time round he can sing like he did in his album.

  2. Give zeritu a break how can you insult her and compliment her at the same time same to abenet about time Ethiopian artists make money. Stop hating at the end of the day your the fool for buying a ticket and going to the venue

  3. wow it’s great.too bad i’ll be in school tomorrow. is their a chance the concert is around san francisco around 4pm?
