Bielefeld Wednesday concert of the musical cultures of live music from the coffee highlands - a simple sound world of 5-tone scale, globally estimated precisely because of their conservative rigor.
Non-Arab nor a colored poppy African-world beat, but genuinely African music of Azmaris.

These are the traditional Ethiopian troubadours. Like their medieval European colleagues, she sang the exploits of the powerful, and paying for, and those women beauty. Even the dance they played: with lyre and lute painted spit.

Today, in the urban scenery of Addis Ababa and most of metropolitan districts of the Ethiopian Diaspora to contemporary forms of music are electrified with Azmaris.
