Surafel Berhanu Abera

Songwriting and jazz teacher

  • 🇪🇹 Mekelle, Tigray, Ethiopia
  • Mekelle Band
  • Since 1986
  • English, Amharic
I've played songwriting since 1986, mostly in pubs, churches, weddings and anywhere else that would have me. These days I also teach. I teach about 15 students a week. Some of them are better than me now, which is the whole point. I fix old bicycles. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.

More about Surafel

I write my first song when I was 18. It was terrible and I still love it.
