Its actually a traditional song sang by azmaris. Don't know when the references started but would be interesting to find out--I'll probably dwell on it when I have some time. Its interesting to note that a lot of azmari songs always list the type of hairstyles when describing a lady-other than the famous(gofere, shuruba etc) one there are obscure ones as well like sadula,kukuba etc (don't ask me what they look like :) hewe: thanks for your kind comment.

I picked a wrong theme for the right day though... lol Selam lol… I am slow and just now figured out what the multiple question marks could possibly mean. Yea that song is def. not a V-day song.

Tayitu: I thought we were already friends:) Mamitu: don't know how you can get over your fear of hearing Amharic oldies but get over it soon--as you know there are way too many classic pieces to miss out on. Helen: if you are ever in the Houston area look me up to peek all u want. Alazhar: Totally agree about Francis Falceto as being the connossieur of Ethiopian music--his collection surpasses any in this field. Nolawi: I love the old Aster--not so much the new. Gigi is great as well but I thought you loved Bezuye the most:) As for the book idea...i don't know man--I'm not focused enough to start and finish a book. I hope it happens one day, but I'm too scattered brain right now. EWNET: I agree 100%. Dini: If you saw Falceto's archives--I'm the penny to his dollar:)--no comparrison! yebolelij: I do remember those "technical bilisht" breaks...great memories. shtoni: You're right, it has been a while since I posted--hopefully I won't be away too long before my next post.

Very nostalgic indeed. The instrumental ones bring back memories of ETV, where they show different ethiopian sceneries and historic sights , after there is an interruption with a program because of “ technique bilishit” lol Next to washint, the saxophone is another instrument that makes me want to run back home whenever I listen to it.
