“According to Addisu, the emperor was so fascinated by the songs he heard aired through RVOG [Radio Voice of the Gospel] that he wanted to know more about the singer. Addisu was called by the emperor and held brief, as he desribed, ‘intense conversations.’ The emperor offered him a scholarship in appreciation of his talent so that it could be used for the advancement of modern music in Ethiopia. Addisu faced some bureaucratic hurdles, and as a result, he could not make use of the opportunity offered.”
