“Islands in the Stream” was a 1983 hit country music by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, written by the Bee Gees. Ethiopian singers Zeritu Kebede and Henock Mehari sing it beautifully at a concert in Addis Ababa.

very sweet
it is better than the original. zeritu is such a talent.
copying is the worest thing in music industry
Wow! I love it. It is as sweet as the original.
this is simply a signe of illusion and an attempt to associate ourselves to something we don’t have and we are not. there is nothing sweeter than being original.true artist always refelects society both pain and pleasure.their presentation refelects neither.
Cool but it would have been cooler if the lyrics was Amharic.
Beauifull music,and nice singers
This is nice,Specially the boy,Keep up
This beautiful music reminds me my high school years in Addis.
Lovely!
It began good and ended better. Good to exlore the unknown.
One more painful reminder of our servile imitation! It is always done in the name of nice taste,sophistication and modernization.
Our artists are copy cats.Our politicians are copy cats.Our learned men and women are copy cats.
No wonder if we remain perennially underdeveloped because we don’t find anything in ourselves that exalts us in our own eyes.We always seek our self-esteem and glory by being damn borrowers and cheap imitators!
It is maddening to see that the creative,energetic and innovative years of particularly our youth which could have otherwise been harnessed to develop ourselves in very many important ways are being frivolously squandered on these and other consumerist culture.
To hell with this ersatz!
beautiful music to the owner but nothing for u ,keep ur culture instead of this
i love it
