Arguably, one of the most beautiful versions of our beloved “Tezeta”. Simply mesmerizing! You know, the Portugese do have similar way of expressing their sentimental love: the call it “Fado”. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fado) They probably got it from the Gondar area, where they intermingled with local Ethiopians centuries ago. What do you think, Zema?

That’s very interesting Tariku! Thanks for the link. I did not know of Fado before, but there seems to be a striking similarity between the two genres.
I don’t know much about that particular history of it, but it would not surprise me if there was indeed a link between Tizita and Fado either.
