In Prison
Teddy Afro was accused of being involved in a fatal car accident, and was imprisoned at Kality prision in Addis pending his trial. Teddy has pleaded not guilty to these allegations, and his court case and imprisonment has been a national talking point in Ethiopia.
Due to revelations of new evidence, the case against Teddy Afro appears to be collapsing. The incident date of the alleged lethal car accident and the actual date of the death of the victim, whom Teddy Afro allegedly killed in the accident are found to be contradicting. According to the prosecutor, Teddy was involved on October 23, in a hit and run accident, killing a homeless man by the name of Ato Degu Yibeltal. To the contrary, according to the hospital record, Ato Degu had died a day earlier, on October 22, with the autopsy performed on the alleged accident date of October 23.On Friday, July 4, Teddy Afro's lawyer requested the court for the dismissal of the case in light of this new revelation. The judge ordered further investigation and sent Teddy Afro back to prison again.

Teddy Afro (in Amharic: ቴዲ አፍሮ ; real name: Tewodros Kassahun, in Amharic: ቴዎድሮስ ካሳሁን) is a popular Ethiopian singer.

His politically and socially inspired songs vibrated a call for unity and peace. However, some of his songs were not welcomed by the supporters of the government.
In his latest song dedicated to the Ethiopian Millennium and entitled Musika Heiwete(Music is My Life), the renowned Ethiopian popular singer, Teddy Afro (Theodros Kassahun) traces the geneaology of his music to classical Zema or chant compositions of St. Yared, the great Ethiopian composer, choreographer and poet, who lived in Aksum almost 1500 years ago.
Teddy, who is widely known for his songs mixed with reggae rhythms and local sounds, heart warming and enlightening lyrics, shoulder shaking and foot stomping beats, blends his latest offering with sacred musical terms, such as Ge'ez, Izil, and Ararary, terms coined by St. Yared to represent the three mainZema compositions.
In so doing, he is echoing the time tested and universalized tradition of modernity that has been pioneered and institutionalized by Yared. Teddy seems to realize the importance of seeking a new direction in Ethiopian popular music by consciously establishing links to the classical and indigenous tradition of modernity of St. Yared. In other words, Teddy Afro is setting an extraordinary example of reconfiguring and contributing to contemporary musical tradition based on Yared's Zema.

Love, death, sorrow, purpose, silence, solitude, and the joy that kills were the themes of his heartbreaking songs. He grabbed the microphone so close to his soul and projected that voice, which efuses to die in the air, until the listener is driven to tears and the heart is threatened with the possibility of death. His music is fated to bring the audience to the brink of joy, the joy that could kill, and the fulfillment that makes one move towards God. His music is spiritual and carnal, therapeutic and transcdent, which takes you behind the veil of appearance to the depth of the hidden reality.
