Tizita ትዝታ | Femdelic

Tizita var. Tezeta is Amharic and means memory, longing. It is not only one of the pentatonic scales, it's an entire genre, dealing with deep emotions of loss & longing, intense feelings associated with grief, nostalgia & missed opportunities. Tezeta evokes feelings of sadness and affection for home, friends, and relations - especially among people living abroad. Femdelic picked Tizita as a general term to describe a genre that is home in many other latitudes. Sudan, Kongo and Haiti, Palestine, Kurds among others have deep-rooted musical traditions that express grief and loss. To add Blues and Fado to the list. This hour is an invitation to receive the music with all cells and senses. A meditation and a prayer.
