Tikur Sew (song)

"Tikur Sew" (translates as "Black man") is a song by Ethiopian singer-songwriter Teddy Afro from the album of the same name.

Released on 21 April 2012, the song served as header of the album and emphasized about Ethiopian sovereignty during the Battle of Adwa, a 1896 war between Ethiopia and Italy.

The black-and-white music video depicts the event at the Battle of Adwa featuring Emperor Menelik II and General Balcha Safo, Fitawrari Habte Giyorgis Dinagde.

However, the song was criticized for factual inaccuracies surrounding Ras Makonnen Wolde Mikael.

By the time of release, "Tikur Sew" had little reception with poor fans in comparison of the last two albums.
