Tewelde Redda has been played on NTS in shows including God's Waiting Room w/ David Holmes, featured first on 12 March 2015. Songs played include Milenu, Nehadar Zèytkèwen and Mèmona.

Tewelde Redda is from Eritrea, a country just north of Ethiopia and may well have been one of the first people in Africa to start playing an electric guitar back in the 60s.

Eritreans spent a very long time fighting for independence and Tewelde has actually been living in Holland as a refugee since 1989.
