Awassa, Ethiopia, 2009 dance_0001.wmv (original)

[@basheybsb7919]

This is so beautiful. The dance moves, the crowd, the street and of course the one who recorded this amazing video and posted it on KZbin. Love Ethiopia. God bless Ethiopia.

[@mathewsdita]

Thanks for your kind words. I was the ones recorded and uploaded to KZbin. Probabely this was the first KZbin video about activities in the city of Awassa/Hawassa. That time, the country was peaceful and welcoming everyone, unlike with current politics. Current politic is more than discouraging. I was promoting my country of origin to outside world in different forms as you may have noticed from the note at the end of this video. Thanks again.

[@basheybsb7919]

@@mathewsdita Thank you too Mathews Dita. Awassa is an amazing place to visit. AND Awassa/Hawassa in my places-to-visit list. Ethiopia is a BEAUTIFUL country and with beautiful people and places to visit.

I'm American my grandmother used to walk to school barefoot, poor in the south! I'M PROUD TO SEE MY PEOPLE DANCE, EVEN POOR AND BAREFOOT, DANCE AND BE PROUD, UPLIFT YOURSELVES, STRIVE FOR SUCCESS AND DO NOT WALLOW IN DEPRESSION, EVER! WE ARE RESILIENT, KNOW HOW TO DANCE, PRAY, SING, PREACH, LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST, REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE OR DO NOT HAVE, WE ALWAYS REMAIN RESILIENT, EVEN THROUGH ADVERSITY, OBSTACLES, OPRESSION, GENOCIDE, ENSLAVEMENT, ETC., WE STAY CHILDREN OF G-D

Everytime I go back to Ethiopia I always visit Addis and Gonder because of family; never made it to the south yet. But this video reminds us that it's ALL Ethiopia...so many beautiful people to make up such a beautiful country. Ethiopia mama-ye, igzerstelegne hulghize

[@pitpan411]

Meeeen these kids radiate too much happiness.......... i got happy high just watching them!! ... specially the little kid !! Nice video bro

So true. I took this video ten years ago. By now, they might be some were. Still, the country is poor to provide job for youth.

[@mathewsdita]

@tiggershunnie The song is called " AW Bade" by-Mamila And Kichini". It is Wolaytigna and Amharic mix.

[@saeedadam3756]

[@amaurus82]

They look so happy....God bless them! That was awesome to see TY for posting =D

[@africkhan5767]

A world without African people would be so empty and bereft of life it wouldn't be worth living in. We offer so much to the world that is non material or transient, an eternal spirit courses through our veins. The world is richer for it. God bless this wondrous land of creative people. Ashai!

[@mathewsdita]

The best comment so far I have ever seen about our Africans. Africans are happy people regardless of their poor living standard. I love Africa. God bless!

Thanks for your complement on my video. Also you can watch how clean Awassa streets are by visiting “Awassa Ethiopia, street tour 2009”. Also go far to Arba Minch area to see the natural beauty of the Southern Ethiopia and rich culture of people of Ethiopia in the South.

[@mathewsdita]

This dance is called "Wolaytigna dance". In this video, the daces were mixed with Wolytigna dances and modern daces. Only the girls here actually were dancing Wolytigna but others do mix Wolytigna with modern dances. Any dances danced on the street are street dances. On this video, dance was recorded during especial events on the street of Awassa in 2009. Thanks for visiting this video site. To see actual song and dance, search under “ AW Bade" by-Mamila And Kichini ” . Good luck

[@mathewsdita]

Thanks almasheer for your complement on my video about city of beautiful Awassa, in Southern Ethiopia. I will be posting more video about Awassa in near future.

This dance is called "Wolaytigna dance" came from Wolyta tribes in Southern Ethiopia about 400 km South of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Walaytigna dances were normally a type of dance that involves parts of your body below the waist twisting waistline and shaking butts. Also the dancers hold long stick and jump very high and pull their legs back and forth following the beat and the rhythm of the songs.

[@mathewsdita]

Good to know that one of your future plan is to visit Southern part of Ethiopia. You will every part of it. I suggest to you to visit Arba Minch as well to see Lake Abaya and Lake Chamo where you will see so called Crocodil Market, the biggest crocodile pile up in the world.

[@samih6103]

Very nice, i like it

[@kingstonguracha4910]

[@h3nrykorir]

what a dance!!! amazing dancers

[@mathewsdita]

I am glad you managed to get to Awassa and been to places that I recommended. Attractions? You would enjoy better in Arba Minch area about 250 km South West of Awassa (if you have a time). There you will see parks and animals, different lakes, hippos, crocodiles etc. Sure not like South Africa for that matter but has breath taking views from international standard hotels like Arba Minch Paradise lodge. You will see Hummer vehicle with Americans lots of them.

[@AbdiPianoChannel]

I must say that the south has more culture than the north, this is DOPE for real.LOl...

[@mathewsdita]

You are absolutely right my friend. Southern Ethiopian's culture is rich, yet it was not been introduced within the country or out side of the country by previous one-tribe ruled leadership until after the country was first time ever ruled by different tribes from 1974 onward.

[@Hindi8428]

[@mathewsdita]

My personal suggestion is that you should go to down town hotels where you meet lots of people having fun on their spare times. I would suggest that you should go to Lewi hotel in down town in the center of the city. There are two Lewi hotels in the city. One is Lewi (Piazza Hotel) the one in the city centre that was mentioned above, and another one is Lewi Resort Hotel near the lake. Take Bajaj taxi to go to down town.
