Tamirat Desta was a lyrical genius whose mastery in both Amharic and Afaan Oromoo songs remains unmatched. No artist from the 2000s generation in Ethiopia has come close to his level of depth, emotion, and poetic brilliance. We are grateful to have lived in his era, and his absence continues to be deeply felt. His voice, his words, and his spirit live on in our hearts. | Tajudin Aliyi
