Rophnan is a pioneering musician from Ethiopia, and one of his country鈥檚 biggest stars. He creates electronic sounds that incorporate Ethiopia鈥檚 unique rhythms and instruments. As he tells DJ Edu, his latest album Zetegn IX is heavily influenced by hip hop.

Rophnan also talks about the mismatch between his relatively low numbers on streaming sites and social media and the thousands who flock to his stadium shows. He says Ethiopians are very loyal to their home-grown music, and the scene in the country is rich, but has yet really to travel beyond the country鈥檚 borders.
