The funeral was also broadcasted live on TV. And, which is the most remarkable point: there has <B>never</B> been a funeral of this size in Ethiopia! It was a state funeral with a big ceremony at Mesqel Square (the main plaza in Addis) in the center of Addis Ababa after which Tilahun's body was driven in a car up to Arat Kilo where he was laid on a carriage and taken to Qiddist Selasie (Holy Trinity) cathedral (also in Arat Kilo). There he was buried.<br />(The transfer in the car was necessary because the road between Mesqel Square and Arat Kilo is very steep.)Andreas Wetterhttp://ntama.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-53883015095993153512009-05-07T18:10:00.000-05:002009-05-07T18:10:00.000-05:00Tilahun was indeed a great artist..many of the oth...Tilahun was indeed a great artist..many of the other artists that followed during his time (alemayehu eshete, mehamud ahmed, tamerat molla, etc) all have at one point or another credited Tilahun for their success. Tilahun didn't just sing, he gave you a performance to remember. His eye movements, his general performance went in line with what he sang about almost all the time. Simply put, he was gifted.Dawialenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459104099060577976.post-65531250723228944362009-04-24T18:35:00.000-05:002009-04-24T18:35:00.000-05:00Awww man...
