Биография

Hachalu Hundessa was an Ethiopian singer, songwriter, and civil rights activist. He was born on June 10, 1985, in Ambo, Oromia Region, Ethiopia, and he was a member of the Oromo ethnic group, Ethiopia's largest ethnic group. Hachalu became a prominent figure in the Oromo community, advocating for their rights and representing their struggles through his music. 
 Hachalu's music was known for its political and social commentary, particularly on the issues facing the Oromo people. He became a symbol of resistance against the Ethiopian government's policies, which the Oromo people felt were discriminatory and oppressive. His songs touched on themes such as human rights, justice, and freedom, and he became a voice for the marginalized and oppressed. Maal Mallisaa, Eessa Jirta? Waa'ee Keenya! Vol. 2
