Nolawi wrote a piece about Munit’s video “Noro Noro” a little over a year ago. He was referring more to her style of music and how much he loved the fact that it was not synthesized, or over synthesized, like a lot of Ethiopian music nowadays.

I don’t remember how I met Munit, but I remember the first time I saw her sing. It was 6 years ago at an event organized in DC  by the Ethiopian Student Association . I remember seeing this tiny woman with so much energy walking around and talking to mutual friends. Her laugh was infectious. Little did I know,  she had a voice that could render a room silent.

Munit sang back up for Wayna and has collaborated with countless artists. For those of you who had a chance to go back to Ethiopia in the last few months, she had a successful few months at Club Alize.

I could go on and on about her and her music, but I’d rather you come and see her perform and be blown away. Bernos’ 4th year anniversary on  Sat May 29th is at The Warehouse Loft. She’ll be performing alongside BSheba and Meklit Hadero. Make sure to purchase your tickets for the show.

    Here is a NY article on Chinglish that reminded me of Endalc (did you know ‘long time no see’ comes to English via Chinglish?’

  16. 16 Nightingale

    @ Leo:
    I think, I can try…. as always (But this doesn’t mean that I want to marry him. :) eshi Dinich?!)
    Leo, he is saying that….
    He wants to marry Munit cuz she is a smart singer. In the mornings he likes to listen to classical music and she will realize that slowly… :) (after she marries him)

    (yawning or may be even streaching… cudn’t figure that out) Just like Mariah Carey’s he loves cheery(cheerful) songs. Sometimes he realizes (thinks like) there is a bird in her mouth (but this is said out of respect).

    He didn’t want to know that she was married, so (Dinich), why did you inform him?

    Beshou doesn’t want to live with him there,who is? (anyone interested?)

    How is that for a translation? :D

  17. 17 Nightingale

    P.S Stretch*

  18. 18 Leo

    WOW is all i can say…you are good!
    Nightingale, i think Endalc should consider marrying you cause he’ll never find anyone who gets him.
    Munit where u at? you have a marriage proposition.

  19. 19 Nightingale

    Hehe…. Thanks Leo :)
    Endalc FYI I am a happily married woman.

  20. 20 Dinich

    lol…

    u missed some of his points Nightingale…

    He wants to listen to her classical voice (not classical music) released slowly (I guess into his ears) in the morning. She has a voice like Maria Carey.

    Also, chri is not cheerful songs….I think it is Cry Baby by Maria Carey…..hmmmmm…Endalc seems to have an impeccable taste for music.

  21. 21 Nightingale

    Dinich you got it!
    Next time lehulet translate enadergalen :)

  22. 22 Mamitu

    You guys are cracking me up! You two are good!!

  23. 23 maebel

    I love Munit. I really do. I first get introduced to her life and music after I read Nolawis Article. Balisasat, the title was Wiyiyit Haters or sth like that. Somehow, the article inspired me to know and dig more about her. And I got the chance to attend her concerts at Allize, in Addis. Goodness….She is just an amazing artist…and great performer!!! God Bless!!

  24. 24 winta

    endalc you can marry me. Where do you live though? It depends where you are at. FYI I can not sing but I can love…
