May God bless Ethiopia and all of Africa. It is amazing how Ethiopia was never colonized by invaders. I have been to Ethiopia 4 times. It is the best place on earth for me. I love everything about that magical land.
Unfortunately they were colonized for 7 years that's why their date is 7years behind 2020 ... But I believe they were the shortest of the African colonization in terms of years
@@momentthanks3632 No brother, there is a 7 year lag because, we Ethiopian use our own calendar system that is different form G.C since ancient times. And Ethiopia was never colonized, there was a military occupation for 5 years but no colonization, our fathers fought the entire 5 years and drive them out for the second time.

This here is the greatest black man that ever walked on this earth. NO ONE come close to menelik. Im forever greatful to be a descendant from the beautiful country of Ethiopia and the region Shewa. Egypt ena lela bandawoch, please try us, in the words of Etege Taytu"to die for your country is a honorable death" yegna hager, yegzhiaber hager nek. Ethiopia Lezelalem Tinur 💚💛❤
@Skrooge Lantay LOL you must be a mad BANDA or a legacy child of the fascists. We true Ethiopians know the REAL history of the GREAT Emiye Minilek. Bye ;)
@Skrooge Lantay stop lying By the mid-1890s, Menelik was actively suppressing slave trade, destroying notorious slave market towns and punishing slavers with amputation. Both Tewodros II and Yohannes IV had previously outlawed slave trading but since all tribes were not against it and the country was surrounded on all sides by slave raiders and traders, it was not possible to entirely suppress this practice even by the 20th century. While Menelik actively enforced his prohibition, it was beyond his capacity to change the mind of his people regarding this age-old practice.
@Skrooge Lantay you're Eritrean but you stay on Ethiopian youtube videos and spread false information and hate. Must be one of the Eritreans paid by TPLF
No my friend you got it wrong here read some real history books that is respected by the international standard.and you will find out fast, that all wars against foreign powers , has bin conducted by HIM JOHANES OF TIGRAY - 11 wars in total against the Turkish-EGYPTIAN army - and after that against the ITALIANS in dugali Eritrea and ADWA Tigray.under the commander general Ras ALULA ABA NEGA. another Tigryan hero.then one more war against the Mahdy SUDANESE.how sages GONDER here comm's the TIGRAYAN again under HIM JOHANES and pushed the sudanese back to there country.and in METEMA sudan and there according to what Etege Taytu had said he died a honourable death for his country.and remember Menelik of Showa and Teklehaymanot of Gojam bin around at the same time but thy never defended Ethiopia against foreign invaders.but it is proven Menelik sold Eritrea to ITALIAN and Jebouty to FRANCE.and what i think is shocking that's another king of Ethiopia that had brought SHAME to ETHIOPIA when the Italian's came back in the 1930's HAILESELASE ran away and left the country and our people alone after he abandoned Ethiopia for 5 years, he coms back withe another coloniser England to help him to get the italians out of the country.I think Etege Taytu as a woman would be ashamed if she knows. even today this behaviour is ben reapeatet again by king abi ahmed the 7's by inviting foreign forces like ARAB drones masters , ERITREAN terrorist's and SOMALI and FANO bandit's to kill and loot in the country.I respect Teddy Afro if he would sing a song for the real defender of ETHIOPIA that had paid his duce withe DIVINE BLOOD for country and people.HIM JOHANES IV OF TIGRAY .and not to Menelik and the rest of them.i believe HIM ETEGE TAYTU will be proud pleased and humbled as women. if the Amharas will stop distorting history under false allegations. now a day's every body can right and read.after you find the truth , you learn to give RESPEKT the real HIROS of ETHIOPIA may god bless you and bless TIGRAY HIM JOHANES IV AND ALULA ABA NEGA for all the freedom that most Ethios are so proud of think about it....
For me in the phrase 'Minilik Tikur Sew' Teddy summarized one of the huge impacts the victory of Adwa brought to world. Adwa boldly taught everyone black is equally a humanbeing! Teddy priased 'Minilik' chanting 'Tikur Sew' ,as of Adwa Minilk can be considered as the redefinition of all black peoples identity as a HUMAN by the world notion, and the term 'Black' can be used to applause a man as '"Minilik 'Tikur Sew' " ("Minilik 'Black Man' ")
Greetings from Vancouver,Canada such a great song it speak the greatest history of Ethiopia against invaders kudos to those Ethiopians who resist and fight through out the end of their life.
One love, one continent South Africa approves🙌 I don't know the language but I love this song🔥❤ I wish one day I could visit many African countries as I can🇿🇦and learn about their culture✨ . Love all son's and daughters of mother Africa🌍
@@natiasefa4863 This is not about that its äthiopia in French and Ethiopia in English its also Etiopia in Spanish. ኢትዮጵያ They can not say ጵ so they use their own accent Somalis say Ityoobya even in Oromo language. Be understanding.
I have said that because the westerners say that the name Ethiopia comes from a Greek word äethiopia, which is not a true conception. By the way እንኳን ደስ አለህ ስለ አባያችን፤ ስለ ግድባችን።
Thanks even tho u doesn't spell our name correctly it is Ethiopia incase u dosen't know it.it is not from the Greek myth or From France. Thank you anyway.
I'd love to see a movie made about this history. It would be quite special for all of us Africans to proudly watch that on the big screen & might inspire us to be more united today. True History of African power defeating the evil powers of colonisation through unity. African kids need to see this.
As an Issa Ethiopian and Djiboutian I cherish the legacy of our ancestors. My grand father died fighting the tyrant who couldn't colonise us and no in a million years any can colonise us. Ethiopian rooted I Abdifatah Moussa Dawaleh stand forever with our ancestors too. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊.... Ameen United under Our Dazzling ancestors legacy
I AM FREE TODAY, I AM SOVEREIGN TODAY BECAUSE OF MY ETHIOPIAN BRAVE ANCESTORS. THEY DIED FOR ME, THEY DIED FOR THE LAND, THEY DIED FOR THE PEOPLE. PROUD ETHIOPIN. I AM FREE.
What a beautiful song with lot of messages. I would like to pay a tribute to all people from Ethiopia, our brothers indeed, the heart of Africa and symbol of freedom. God bless Ethiopia and the entire Africa !
I am ethiopian but when I see this video I... just something unknown feeling you know it I am so proud to be ethiopian the bestest country in the world ethiopia forever 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
other nation soldiers wear dark-colored ones, but Ethiopians wore pure white cloth, to show that they are not afraid to die for their beloved country in every war, Ethiopia faced and was never been defeated! Pure pride for black people across the world. I promise Ethiopia will prevail soon, and when she did, it'll be stronger than before... Proud of being Ethiopian!
Love all Teddy Afro songs. I am From India do not know what the lyrics say . Wish someone can translate . This song I somehow understand what it telling . Great song and musice
This song is deducated to those who fought against colonizatiion of Italiens in Ethiopia 127 Years ago. Ethiopia defeated and won the war. Minilik was the King on the horse with cross and his Wife Queen Taytu. The Song called Minilik Tikur sew. Means Minilik the Black man.

@Thierry Henry lol what did the Arabs do? No Arab has ever sent their army into Somalia. Also Ethiopia never conquered Ogaden region, it is ownership that exists only on paper. To conquer something, the region. has to be subjugated, which is not the case. Only reacently did Abiy make peace with ONLF fighters. Somalia did conquer Ethiopia in the 16th century under the Adal sultunate, and later the Ifat sultanate and all the other sultanates that split after Gureys death. Ethiopia jas never won a single war alone against Somalia that is a fact. But this is internal Horn politics. If you said Ethiopia has never been colonised by foreigners, that would be a true statement. But Oromo, Somali, and Habesha have in their history conquered one another.
@@Somali.Pirate1 what is your point exactly Ethiopia never got colonized by anyone and till this day Ogaden is still ours Somalia don’t stand a chance with us but love my Somali’s tho
I can't get over this. The music n the music video so well done! ❤️ This should be turned into a movie. Would love to see Ethiopian history depicted in such a glorious way 😍😍😍
This is an art that would be remembered for centuries to come. We are forever grateful to have you as our artist, but most importantly a significant figure for our Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and the entire continent!
127 years of legend and true history !!!! Menelik made history @ ADOWA !!! When you have a true leaders you can win any war and challenge!!!! Menelick is a not only a leader rather an example to generation!!!!! A historian can talk about His majesty and ambition of developing Ethiopia and his efforts to modernize Ethiopia but in the 21 st century Menelick and his leadership could not be expressed in a very small terms rather it is one of the greatest crystal historical evidence!! Menelicks strategy and effort as a motivational move!!! When we speak, teach and describe challenges ,we can use Menelick as a role model!! We Africans can use him as a role model and real example!!! His followers and kingdom were organized!! Menelick decree is still one of the short brief order that is still used in war camps!!! It is a very strategic and brief millitary strategy !!!!
Teddy is far and beyond as an artist. He is also a history teller who captures our rich and proud long history in a video clip in less than 10 minutes. Just amazing. Teddyeee you are a phenomenon and i am extremely lucky to be your generation to enjoy your amazing talent. Sooo much love and respect to you and your beloved family. Amlak kekfu neger ytebkh abo. 😍😍💚💛❤💚💛❤🇲🇱🇲🇱🇲🇱
Thank you Teddy paying tribute to the victors. And most of all thank you Tayitu the berhane Ethiopia and Emye Menilik for leading us to our immortal fame and glory.
This is clearly a song for all blacks not just Ethiopians because they’re singing about that how Menelik made Ethiopia uncolonized and being the first black country that didn’t get colonized by whites and if you didnt get this then you don’t understand what the song’s about🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹✊🏿✊🏾
Make me cry when hear this marvelous historic music video. I have not words to explain how sacrifice life to protect Ethiopian sovereignty from Fascists .Much respect our patriotic grandfathers & Grandma's. Generation to generation history always remember your glorious heroism how protect our beloved motherland Ethiopia from enemies.
Just when tplf fighters was cleared out of afar, Dessie & Kombolcha, I came to watch this over again. Viva Ethiopia!!!! Ethiopia Unite!!!! Long live TIGRAY, AMHARA, OROMIA, AFAR, SOMALI, BG, GAMBELA, HARAR, SOUTHERN NATIONS &NATIONALITIES. ETHIOPIA SHALL PREVAIL.
Don't worry man, Ethiopia will eliminate the tplf crooks once & for all. The government might have delayed it but eventually it will happen. Indeed Ethiopia shall prevail👍🏾
Funny because adwa is in ethiopia and Tigrayans won the war in adwa but keep dreaming Even the Italy’s wrote books about Tigrayans back then !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 How is the war going in Amhara Doonky ?
Now with all the division and controversy around Aste Menelik- my spirit is even more revived- VIVA MENELIK VIVA ETHIOPIA -This was an African victory - PERIOD I walk w/ my head up because of the sacrifice of united Ethiopia.
@Skrooge LantayThe transatlantic slave trade was possible because Africans were trading other Africans. Though an ugly reality, its part of our history we must accept. When Menelik issued a decree to abolish slavery, other kings w/in the nation were also trading slaves. It was a lucrative business and an unfortunate order of the day. We celebrate Menelik because w/o his strong leadership to unite diverse peoples of Ethiopia, and w/o him, victory at Adwa would not have been possible.
@Skrooge Lantay Do some research about Meneliks call to abolish slavery. I didn't make it up, its documented. Also, we don't buy the false narration that Menelik was involved in slave trading because he was racist. Menelik's entire army was black. Victims of slavery were either conquered through war much like the rest of the African slaves or viewed as primitive ppls by their subjugators. End of story.
Today i was playing this song on my way to home after a stressfull day and drinking some beer.I feel like im flying and all the people inside the bus (eventhough they are franch) was crazy.Thank you teddy for capturing the african patriotisim as it is and make as proud.much love from eritrea.

This here is the greatest black man that ever walked on this earth. NO ONE come close to menelik. Im forever greatful to be a descendant from the beautiful country of Ethiopia and the region Shewa. Egypt ena lela bandawoch, please try us, in the words of Etege Taytu"to die for your country is a honorable death" yegna hager, yegzhiaber hager nek. Ethiopia Lezelalem Tinur 💚💛❤
@Skrooge Lantay LOL you must be a mad BANDA or a legacy child of the fascists. We true Ethiopians know the REAL history of the GREAT Emiye Minilek. Bye ;)
@Skrooge Lantay stop lying By the mid-1890s, Menelik was actively suppressing slave trade, destroying notorious slave market towns and punishing slavers with amputation. Both Tewodros II and Yohannes IV had previously outlawed slave trading but since all tribes were not against it and the country was surrounded on all sides by slave raiders and traders, it was not possible to entirely suppress this practice even by the 20th century. While Menelik actively enforced his prohibition, it was beyond his capacity to change the mind of his people regarding this age-old practice.
@Skrooge Lantay you're Eritrean but you stay on Ethiopian youtube videos and spread false information and hate. Must be one of the Eritreans paid by TPLF
@@addistimez8760 he's actually Eritrean, but he's adopted TPLF policies, he loves talking smack on Ethiopian youtube videos SMH
No my friend you got it wrong here read some real history books that is respected by the international standard.and you will find out fast, that all wars against foreign powers , has bin conducted by HIM JOHANES OF TIGRAY - 11 wars in total against the Turkish-EGYPTIAN army - and after that against the ITALIANS in dugali Eritrea and ADWA Tigray.under the commander general Ras ALULA ABA NEGA. another Tigryan hero.then one more war against the Mahdy SUDANESE.how sages GONDER here comm's the TIGRAYAN again under HIM JOHANES and pushed the sudanese back to there country.and in METEMA sudan and there according to what Etege Taytu had said he died a honourable death for his country.and remember Menelik of Showa and Teklehaymanot of Gojam bin around at the same time but thy never defended Ethiopia against foreign invaders.but it is proven Menelik sold Eritrea to ITALIAN and Jebouty to FRANCE.and what i think is shocking that's another king of Ethiopia that had brought SHAME to ETHIOPIA when the Italian's came back in the 1930's HAILESELASE ran away and left the country and our people alone after he abandoned Ethiopia for 5 years, he coms back withe another coloniser England to help him to get the italians out of the country.I think Etege Taytu as a woman would be ashamed if she knows. even today this behaviour is ben reapeatet again by king abi ahmed the 7's by inviting foreign forces like ARAB drones masters , ERITREAN terrorist's and SOMALI and FANO bandit's to kill and loot in the country.I respect Teddy Afro if he would sing a song for the real defender of ETHIOPIA that had paid his duce withe DIVINE BLOOD for country and people.HIM JOHANES IV OF TIGRAY .and not to Menelik and the rest of them.i believe HIM ETEGE TAYTU will be proud pleased and humbled as women. if the Amharas will stop distorting history under false allegations. now a day's every body can right and read.after you find the truth , you learn to give RESPEKT the real HIROS of ETHIOPIA may god bless you and bless TIGRAY HIM JOHANES IV AND ALULA ABA NEGA for all the freedom that most Ethios are so proud of think about it....
For me in the phrase 'Minilik Tikur Sew' Teddy summarized one of the huge impacts the victory of Adwa brought to world. Adwa boldly taught everyone black is equally a humanbeing! Teddy priased 'Minilik' chanting 'Tikur Sew' ,as of Adwa Minilk can be considered as the redefinition of all black peoples identity as a HUMAN by the world notion, and the term 'Black' can be used to applause a man as '"Minilik 'Tikur Sew' " ("Minilik 'Black Man' ")
Greetings from Vancouver,Canada such a great song it speak the greatest history of Ethiopia against invaders kudos to those Ethiopians who resist and fight through out the end of their life.

From France 🙌🏽
Why dou say äthiopia. Westerns say our countries name is given by greeks but it is not the truth. We are more ancient than Greek
@@natiasefa4863 This is not about that its äthiopia in French and Ethiopia in English its also Etiopia in Spanish. ኢትዮጵያ They can not say ጵ so they use their own accent Somalis say Ityoobya even in Oromo language. Be understanding.
@@entertainmentprime101 oh sorry. Are you saying that you are using French accent?
I have said that because the westerners say that the name Ethiopia comes from a Greek word äethiopia, which is not a true conception. By the way እንኳን ደስ አለህ ስለ አባያችን፤ ስለ ግድባችን።
Thanks even tho u doesn't spell our name correctly it is Ethiopia incase u dosen't know it.it is not from the Greek myth or From France. Thank you anyway.
I'd love to see a movie made about this history. It would be quite special for all of us Africans to proudly watch that on the big screen & might inspire us to be more united today. True History of African power defeating the evil powers of colonisation through unity. African kids need to see this.
As an Issa Ethiopian and Djiboutian I cherish the legacy of our ancestors. My grand father died fighting the tyrant who couldn't colonise us and no in a million years any can colonise us. Ethiopian rooted I Abdifatah Moussa Dawaleh stand forever with our ancestors too. ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊.... Ameen United under Our Dazzling ancestors legacy
The only Africa country who fought against colonization proudly. I love you great people ❤❤❤
I AM FREE TODAY, I AM SOVEREIGN TODAY BECAUSE OF MY ETHIOPIAN BRAVE ANCESTORS. THEY DIED FOR ME, THEY DIED FOR THE LAND, THEY DIED FOR THE PEOPLE.
PROUD ETHIOPIN. I AM FREE.
FEELING PROUD ↗️↗️

other nation soldiers wear dark-colored ones, but Ethiopians wore pure white cloth, to show that they are not afraid to die for their beloved country in every war, Ethiopia faced and was never been defeated! Pure pride for black people across the world.
I promise Ethiopia will prevail soon, and when she did, it'll be stronger than before...
Proud of being Ethiopian!
Proud to be Ethiopian! Happy 127th Adwa.
Love all Teddy Afro songs.
I am From India do not know what the lyrics say . Wish someone can translate . This song I somehow understand what it telling .
Great song and musice
This song is deducated to those who fought against colonizatiion of Italiens in Ethiopia 127 Years ago. Ethiopia defeated and won the war. Minilik was the King on the horse with cross and his Wife Queen Taytu. The Song called Minilik Tikur sew. Means Minilik the Black man.

I always get emotional watching this.
It just fascinates me seeing other videos get millions of viewers not this one.
yes i agree
My family and I just found this video ❤️
Haha it's censored bro😂😂😂😂I'm a million percent sure it's viewed more than a million , it's whites media and they still salty over this loss , honestly they're very hypocrite n should get off their high horses
Goose bumps all the way. Proud of my country 126 years later.
Ethiopia the country that never got colonized by anyone
Somalis are laughing, i guess it doesnt count because they are technically Ethiopian.
@Thierry Henry lol what did the Arabs do? No Arab has ever sent their army into Somalia. Also Ethiopia never conquered Ogaden region, it is ownership that exists only on paper. To conquer something, the region. has to be subjugated, which is not the case. Only reacently did Abiy make peace with ONLF fighters. Somalia did conquer Ethiopia in the 16th century under the Adal sultunate, and later the Ifat sultanate and all the other sultanates that split after Gureys death. Ethiopia jas never won a single war alone against Somalia that is a fact. But this is internal Horn politics. If you said Ethiopia has never been colonised by foreigners, that would be a true statement. But Oromo, Somali, and Habesha have in their history conquered one another.
@@Somali.Pirate1 what is your point exactly Ethiopia never got colonized by anyone and till this day Ogaden is still ours Somalia don’t stand a chance with us but love my Somali’s tho
I can't get over this. The music n the music video so well done! ❤️ This should be turned into a movie. Would love to see Ethiopian history depicted in such a glorious way 😍😍😍
It is a movie the battle of adwa
This is an art that would be remembered for centuries to come. We are forever grateful to have you as our artist, but most importantly a significant figure for our Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and the entire continent!
127 years of legend and true history !!!! Menelik made history @ ADOWA !!! When you have a true leaders you can win any war and challenge!!!! Menelick is a not only a leader rather an example to generation!!!!! A historian can talk about His majesty and ambition of developing Ethiopia and his efforts to modernize Ethiopia but in the 21 st century Menelick and his leadership could not be expressed in a very small terms rather it is one of the greatest crystal historical evidence!! Menelicks strategy and effort as a motivational move!!! When we speak, teach and describe challenges ,we can use Menelick as a role model!! We Africans can use him as a role model and real example!!! His followers and kingdom were organized!! Menelick decree is still one of the short brief order that is still used in war camps!!! It is a very strategic and brief millitary strategy !!!!

This is clearly a song for all blacks not just Ethiopians because they’re singing about that how Menelik made Ethiopia uncolonized and being the first black country that didn’t get colonized by whites and if you didnt get this then you don’t understand what the song’s about🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹✊🏿✊🏾

Now with all the division and controversy around Aste Menelik- my spirit is even more revived- VIVA MENELIK VIVA ETHIOPIA -This was an African victory - PERIOD I walk w/ my head up because of the sacrifice of united Ethiopia.
@Skrooge LantayThe transatlantic slave trade was possible because Africans were trading other Africans. Though an ugly reality, its part of our history we must accept. When Menelik issued a decree to abolish slavery, other kings w/in the nation were also trading slaves. It was a lucrative business and an unfortunate order of the day. We celebrate Menelik because w/o his strong leadership to unite diverse peoples of Ethiopia, and w/o him, victory at Adwa would not have been possible.
@Skrooge Lantay Do some research about Meneliks call to abolish slavery. I didn't make it up, its documented. Also, we don't buy the false narration that Menelik was involved in slave trading because he was racist. Menelik's entire army was black. Victims of slavery were either conquered through war much like the rest of the African slaves or viewed as primitive ppls by their subjugators. End of story.
Also VIVA TAYITU
Today i was playing this song on my way to home after a stressfull day and drinking some beer.I feel like im flying and all the people inside the bus (eventhough they are franch) was crazy.Thank you teddy for capturing the african patriotisim as it is and make as proud.much love from eritrea.
