Editor’s Note: Since being released early from prison in August 2009, Teddy Afro has been touring the U.S. This Saturday, July 17th, Teddy’s tour brings him to New York. He will be performing at 630 Second Ave (between 34th and 35th street). Teddy has inspired fans across the globe, and the following is a letter addressed to him which was submitted anonymously to TsehaiNY.
My Dearest Teddy:
We never officially met but I feel like I have known you my entire life. Although you probably have heard this many times before, I am your biggest supporter and your biggest fan.

In the world of entertainment, one has achieved a level of excellence and accomplishment when you just say their first name and people know who you are talking about. Elvis, Michael, Tiger, Madonna, Barrack, these are people who made such a profound impact that they are known by the world by just their first name. These are people who shake the universe when they speak, people who have millions of hits on youtube, people who inspire Paparazzi photographers and who have spawned TV shows—TMZ anyone—that track their every movement.
When it comes to Ethiopian music, there are but two iconic names who have achieved this level of fame. Mahmoud and Telahun, that’s the list. You speak to any Ethiopian, or for that matter any Parisian or Moroccan and you say the name Telahun and Mahoud, and instantly there is no doubt which Ethiopian you are talking about. Well, add to the list the name Teddy.
