Yes, I am talking about the song. The singer has totally missed the definition of arada and mixing it up with a loser I think in a US context. Arada ain't no loser. Arada has nothing to do with guns, that is typical of a rebellious teenager in the US. Arada uses <em><strong>milas</strong></em> not guns. Nol,

Whenever I listen to traditional Ethiopian music like the two posted here, it puts me in a type of mood I can not completely describe. The closest I can come to describing the feeling is that it is a sense of calm and comfort. Perhaps it is the melody and the beat since I tend to focus on those rather than the words. I have always wondered if it is because I grew up listening to the type of music. Does anyone else feel the same? Sorry if my comment is off the topic "Arada."
