Ethiopian superstar from Bergen!

Gutu Abera is a Bergen-based Ethiopian musician who combines Oromo traditional music with modern afropop. His unique musical style blends traditional elements with new expressions, which has caught attention both nationally and internationally. In 2023, he won the All Africa Music Awards for Best Jazz Song with the single "Demi." His music explores an exciting balance between the traditional and the modern, while addressing themes that are rarely featured in Ethiopian popular music.
