Abraham Afewerki,, ኣብርሃም ኣፈወርቂ (30 January 1966 – 7 October 2006) was an Eritrean singer, songwriter and music producer. Noted for his unique Tigrinya- based compositions and lyrics, he was one of the most recognised figures among Eritrean musicians and celebrities and also the world.
In 2006, Abraham drowned when he tried to save a friend in the Red Sea near Massawa. The official Eritrean government version of the tragedy is that both men were in Massawa that day to film a video clip. They asked for a break from production and went out to swim. Abraham’s friend allegedly got his foot stuck in quick sand underwater & was drowning when Abraham came to rescue him. He had returned to Eritrea to produce a film musical. Posthumously, Abraham continues to be held in high regard by his fellow Eritrean artists, who bear much appreciation and respect. His musical influence has also spread to Ethiopia where his music is reproduced by other musicians singing in a different language other than his native Tigrinya.
