v.a. - Tezeta [Tizita] [T'zeta]


                          R   E   U   P   L   O   A   D   


Tizita
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Tizita (var. Tezeta; "memory", "nostalga" or "longing") is a type of song in Ethiopian and Eritrean music. The term itself may serve as the name of a ballad performed in this style, or it can refer to the musical mode used in such songs. Western sources often compare tizita to the blues.



Azmaris first introduced tizita. Modern Ethiopian artists who have performed tizita songs include Aster Aweke, Bezawork Asfaw, Teddy Afro and Mahmoud Ahmed.

Wedel Bikri - [1996] - Oumri Al-Baghi (What's Left of My Years) [sudan]




Original post at Awesome Tapes from Africa



     Wad El-Bakri (Wedel Bikri) -  Oumri Al-Baghi (What's Left of My Years)




        ود البكري, full name: Abdel-Baqi Ahmad Al-Bakri, is a Sudanese singer from the White-Nile delta region. He used to work as a pharmacist, and started singing at local haflas (communal parties and gatherings) paid too little for his singing and rabab-playing in the early 80's. 
        Then with time, he learned to master the oud and got his full backing orchestra. Lately, he began singing only madayeh (adulatory) religious songs on a satellite channel in Sudan. 




Dawit Tesfamariam - Saturday Night [eritrean sax instrumental] [2004]


                         R   E   U   P   L   O   A   D   


        Dawit Tesfamariam is eritrean saxophone player. Got his album "Saturday Night" from 2004,  and that's all I know about him. If you have any piece of information about this excellent musician, just let me know, and I will post it here. 

      I like his album very much. Rip is not perfect, but who cares. His music is modern, melodic and relaxing. Enjoy.
