On my website www.thebnx.com and on myspace.com/bluenilexpress [quote comment="13527"]What I find mysterious about Tizita is that it is always new. There does not seem to be much difference between the different versions but it always sounds fresh. I wonder what the secret is. On the other hand, I totally disagree with equating Tizita with blues. Blues is a style but Tizita is a song. Blues is called blues because it was used by blacks to sing their blues away and most of the lyrics they used was bluesy. Some poeple even musicians try to associate the blues scale to a bluesy feeling but that is more a perception than anything. I love blues and I don't feel blue when I hear it. My description of blues is sweet. It really is sweet but if you listen to older blues from the early twentith century you can tell why they called it blue.[/quote] ]]> By: Arada ::BERNOS.ORG :: Ethiopian T-Shirts http://www.bernos.org/blog/2007/01/19/crowning-ii/#comment-21055 Arada ::BERNOS.ORG :: Ethiopian T-Shirts Wed, 28 Feb 2007 17:25:58 +0000 http://www.bernos.org/blog/2007/01/19/crowning-ii/#comment-21055 [...] One of my favorite singers Asnakech Worku has a song title Arada and it she depicts what it means to be a true arada. “Aradaw, ShelaTaw, Samunaw.”  Perhaps the ‘Arada way’ is to deem ‘lack of money as NO obstacle.’ Second Podcast is, Asnakech Version of Arada.

The Kirar is so pure and soothing that I have chills running down my body! Tizita is something that Ethiopians should be proud of, and a God given gift to us. From lyrics to voice, the old Ethiopian artists have it all. I am sad that the new generation is adapting to the Western culture and not sustaining our own culture. But another one that I think is good Tizita is by the new TedyAfro… “400 Fikir” . Nolawi – Wow! The Kirar is so pure and soothing that I have chills running down my body!
