I don't have words to express my admiration for the legendary Elias Melka. I began following his incredible work during my 11th grade. At that time, he released a classic composition for Gosaye Tesfaye and Alemayehu Herpo. From that moment, I continued to appreciate his work until his recent passing. To be honest, I doubt I will ever find a composer at his level because he dedicated his life to music. The lyrics, songs, and music compositions he created were astonishing. More importantly, each piece was a new form of art and philosophy in itself. I am deeply saddened by his unexpected death. I had hoped to meet him one day and express that I am a lifelong fan of his artistry and music. God knows all. May his soul rest in the hands of Abraham. Amen!
Selam Dawit, I'm Fitsum from AA Eth, I'm a musician in a church's choir, I always want to play the way you do, and sometimes people tell me, "you play like Dave", and I'm so glad to follow your styles, I wish you stay in church forever. Please let us know what we should know about you. Mostly in Ethiopia, Peoples history is told after they're left this world. So, instead of learning your history from an reliable sources, it'll be good to know from the right source about you, that's you yourself. Don't take time to let us know you more. Thank you Dave, and hope to have your story sooner. Blessings!

Thank you, Dev. Those stories of the legend Elias Melka were never told before as far as I know as a writer of music in Ethiopia. Good to share his unrevealed personal accounts from your close connection as a friend and a musician.

You are just awesome story teller. I like your warm and friendly personality. I learn from the comment section that you had your own signature on Ethiopian music. One thing is sure that Elias is a national figure now; that any memorable story related this him shall be documented for the next generation. You have some authentic friendship with him that if you share more of them it will be helpful to everyone who wish to know Elias more in depth (or for those who wish to find a reference in the future).. Thank you for this one Dave.

This is amazing! Can you do part 2???? Plzzzzz😭😭😭 I am confused about something. What did you guys (his friends) do when you heard about his sickness???? Why did you guys wait until he looked sick like this???? Also, he seemed happier before but after a while he looked sad. Was he going through depression? What was the cause? Why was he not interested in getting married or have kids? In his interview, he said he made some mistakes that he regrets. What were those mistakes?
