Tezeta


i'm not sure if this song was originally done by mulatu astatke, menelik wesnatchew, or someone else, but my dad once told me that tezeta, which means "nostalgia" in amharic, is one of those classic ethiopian jazz songs that's been covered by everyone. i'm diggin the underwater video, but this songggggg, wow this song. it's one of those songs that always touches something deep, something alive within us. it stirs and shakes and settles all at once.

speaking of which, i have some tej, ethiopian honey wine, that's ready for the tasting...
