3) Ejigayehu “Gigi” Shibabaw is a contemporary Ethiopian singer based in New York and maried to producer/bassplayer Bill Laswell. GiGi was born in Ethiopia in 1974. In 1991 she decided to fully concentrate on music. Her family opposed to her plans and GiGi ran away to Kenya. There she formed a band and - at the age of 19 - gave her first concert in Nairobi in 1993. When GiGi returned to Ethiopia in 1996, she joined the Ethiopian National Theatre and met singer/krar player Fantahun Shewankochew and singer/masinqo player Wores Egziabher. The trio joined the theatre troupe ‘Salomon et Saba’, led by Italian director and puppeteer Massimo Schuster and toured East and Southern Africa. The troupe also visited France where GiGi performed at a world music festival. This visit resulted in the recording of a collection of traditional Ethiopian love songs at the ‘Maison des Cultures du Monde’ with Fantahun Shewankochew and Wores Egziabher in 1997.
These recordings were released in France as ÉTHIOPIE/Chants d Amour.
In 1998 GiGi was granted a United States visa, which enabled her to move to California. She recorded her first album One Ethiopia with producer/arranger/keyboard player and fellow Ethiopian Dereje ‘DJ’ Makonnen, GiGi wrote all ten songs on the album herself .
The album was well received by the Ethiopian community and it drew the attention of Chris Blackwell of Palm Pictures who introduced her to one of the most prolific musicians in the world today: Bill Laswell. He invited an impressive group of master musicians - among them Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter - and recorded what was to become GIGI: an album that combines and transcends jazz, funk, dub and various African and Asian musical styles . In March 2003 Illuminated Audio was released: an ambient ‘reproduction and mix translation’ of ‘GiGi’ by Laswell. In 2003 She also recorded the album Zion Rootswith Abyssinia Infinite which contains more traditional Egyptian music. In 2006 she released her latest solo effort; Gold & Wax .

梁詠琪
那麼熟悉的天空沒想過這般遼闊
沒有窗戶的宇宙自由到那麼惶恐
我是屬於你的我沒想過甚麼以後
到底還要走多久天黑之後天冷時候你怎麼過
我是一隻你寵愛喜歡習慣到忘記了存在的貓
就這樣說不愛了就這樣說不要了快到我都來不及學會獨自活著
只留下寂寞

那麼熟悉的天空沒想過這般遼闊
沒有窗戶的宇宙自由到那麼惶恐
我是屬於你的我沒想過甚麼以後
到底還要走多久天黑之後天冷時候你怎麼過
我是一隻你寵愛喜歡習慣到忘記了存在的貓
就這樣說不愛了就這樣說不要了快到我都來不及學會獨自活著
我只是一隻你寵愛喜歡卻忽然被你丟棄了的貓
究竟發生了甚麼究竟做錯了甚麼為什麼就連一句道別都不給我只留下寂寞

我只是一隻你寵愛喜歡卻忽然被你丟棄了的貓
究竟發生了甚麼究竟做錯了甚麼為什麼就連一句道別都不給我只留下寂寞

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gigi's song "The Man" speak to the pain and confusion of being abandoned by someone who was once a source of comfort and love. The opening lines describe the vastness of the universe and the sky, which feels familiar yet unexpectedly endless. This contrast sets up the theme of the song, which is that things that seem solid and dependable can be taken away in an instant. The singer reflects on how she never considered what her future might hold, because she was so focused on being with the person she loved.

As the song progresses, the singer describes herself as a cat who was loved and doted on to the point where she forgot she existed outside of her owner's love. The suddenness of the breakup is emphasized by the repetition of the phrase "just like that," and the lyrics convey a sense of shock and disbelief. The singer wonders what she did wrong to deserve being abandoned without even a goodbye.

Overall, "The Man" captures the feelings of confusion and heartbreak that come with suddenly losing someone who was once an integral part of your life.
