Teddy Afro

Teddy Afro's fifth album, Ethiopia, reached the top of the Billboard World Albums chart in May 2017, at which time more than 600,000 units had been sold.

His fourth album, Tikur Sew was released in 2012. It is the most expensive and most widely sold album in Ethiopia after his fifth album Ethiopia.

His third album, Yasteseryal was released in 2005. This album was one of the most influential and controversial. Tedy Afro's brilliant lyrics and the release of this album coincided with the elevated political tension in Ethiopia surrounding the 2005 Ethiopian general election. The government banned four of his songs including "Yasteseryal" from playing on Ethiopian media outlets. Nonetheless, the album sold more than a million copies within a few months after its release.

Despite much controversy surrounding the issue, Tewodros Kassahun was jailed for two years in connection with an alleged hit-and-run incident during 2005 Ethiopian election.

His second album Lebo was done in 2000 but released in 2002.

Tewodros Kassahun Germamo (Amharic: ቴዎድሮስ ካሳሁን ገርማሞ ; born July 14, 1976), known professionally as Teddy Afro, is an Ethiopian singer-songwriter. He is known for using his music to comment on the political climate of Africa, particularly his native Ethiopia.. His 2017 song "Ethiopia" has over 19 million views on YouTube.

Born in Addis Ababa in 1976, Teddy Afro made his debut in 2001 with the album Abugida, quickly establishing himself as a prominent voice in his native country. Mixing reggae, traditional Ethiopian styles, and pop music, his sophomore LP, 2005's Yastesereyal yielded a major hit in its controversial title track, which criticized corruption in the country's government. Four of the album's songs were subsequently banned from media outlets, though "Yastesereyal" sales and influence remained strong.
