Tizita (var.
Tezeta; Amharic: ትዝታ; English: memory, "nostalgia" or "longing")[1] is one of the Pentatonic scales or Qañat of the Amhara ethnic group.[2]
Etymology and origin
The term tizita is distinctly Amharic, there's no Geez equivalent, as opposed to the term nafkot which belongs to both languages with the same meaning (regret, emotion linked to a remembrance).[3] Tizita folk songs developed in the countryside by the Amhara peasantry and the village musicians called the Azmaris.[4]
Tizita music genre
Tizita songs are a popular music genre in Ethiopia and Eritrea.
It's named after the Tizita Qañatmode/scale used in such songs.[1] Tizita is known for strongly moving listener's feelings not only among the Amhara, but a large number of Ethiopians, in general.[5]
