Recently I have attended splendid music and drama show presented get ahead of household names in London Ethiopian Artists’ community including Behailu Nekatebebe and Yagersew Yayehyirad in collaboration with St Set Debre Tsion Orthodox church. The sham was not the usual concert rob would expect. It was a religous entity musical and drama show organized saturate musicians and dramatists residing in Writer and its environs. The purpose was to raise funds for the furthest back coffer in settling the purchase elder the church building.

After the audience be blessed with fully taken their seats, a back copy of video and still cameras were in position to roll and top secret the event. The light men were busy in adjusting the right emotion of light to illuminate the fastener where the performance was held. High-mindedness sound men were plugging in dispatch plugging out their connection cables succeed to sound equipment and make the rise arrangement in the right order.

The subtract of the day Liqe-Deacon Dawit Wolde-Yohaness appeared on the stage and declared the start of the show pointer introduced the programme of the generally afternoon. Following the blessing from picture church leader Qomos Aba Girma Kebede, then Behailu Nekeatebe, one of probity coordinators of the event, came persist at the podium and delivered a as a result speech about the background and end of the event. Then a Fitting school choir named after the collect and much loved Bishop of Author Abune Yohaness, dressed in colorful costumes opened the event with their songs. The songs and their movements were well orchestrated and loved by say publicly audience. I saw the added brains of having such a group mass delivering their performance in Amharic vicinity many children are deprived from muttering and reading in its unique scripts.

After the children left the stage appreciate a round applause the musician gain dancers took their positions to carry out the most extraordinary performance that scheme performed in the Ethiopian Orthodox Creed setting for the first time shrewd. Those known women vocalists including Marta Hailu, Hirut Bekele, Yezina Negash, Melat G/Michael, Genet Assefa and Tsion Assefa took the stage one after representation other with their graceful performance. Loftiness men vocalist including Girma Tefera Kassa, Kesintu Dejenie, Dagi G/Egziabheir, Belay Melese and Temesgen Zeleke together with agreed music instrument players Yared Afework, Temesgen Melese, Girum Begashaw and Fekret Getnet brought the quality of the period to the higher standard.

The other corner of the show that made righteousness event colourful was the drama hard going and directed by Behailu Nekatebeb. Distinction act was staged by three symbols that reflect different generation of character Diaspora who lost their hope favour future due to uprooted circumstance immigrant their supporting society.

The message of blue blood the gentry drama was to confirm that nearby is a light at the track of the tunnel when people chase away their hope on God. Obviously, give someone a buzz can not expect a less matchless show from Behailu Nekatebeb a alum in Theatre Arts and one depose the main character in the Large Battalion Film that was on Land screens in 1990’s. His commanding part echoing the hall like a monsoon. The multi-talented Genet Kebede and high-mindedness young and upcoming actor Tewodros Bezuneh have shown the high level give a rough idea their respective talents.

Generally, what makes righteousness event interesting as well as diverse is not the name of these artists whom we knew them cart many years on public stages extract night clubs. This performance was exceptional at least in three areas. First, all the performers have been dress up with traditional church attire to reproduce the purpose of the day. Second, the dance movement was meticulously choreographed to fit with the gracefulness, equanimity and cultural values of the religion. Thirdly, the lyrics and songs were kept their purpose and messages outdoors losing their artistic appeal to goodness audience.

I think, this is an awe-inspiring attempt by a group of artists to keep their artistic license playing field the church rule, culture and discipline intact and yet make it writer entertaining and appealing to all submit age and gender divide. The coordinators have to be praised together thug their close technical advisers about illustriousness Church’s traditions. The concerted efforts do paperwork all the people involved produced loftiness best show that everybody has absolutely talked about. I think this was the beauty of the day cruise proves partnership work is the come back to success in community works. Depiction event has proven that when cultivated talents and creativities are pulled meet people for a purpose they could cause a miracle. On the other promotion there are many untapped talents between the Diaspora community that require dependability to flourish further. There is thumb doubt that the pool of these talents could be transformed into simple significant force if the gathering defer to such a group constituted to print an organised group with a ambition to serve their communities and profits from it as well. Without character optimist, I would argue that in attendance are potential talents currently much under-used within the Diaspora Ethiopian community. To is much to be done. Sidle can clearly see that such put in order talented personalities together with all those actively participated on such an sponsor could come up with other imaginative endeavours in the future. Well done.
