Tizita Radio
05.15.23
TIZITA RADIO is sublime music inspired by the joy of remembering, and the feeling of longing for something that will never return, with host Rani de Leon. “Tizita” is an Amharic word that translates to memory, longing or nostalgia. Tizita songs are a popular music genre in Ethiopia, and are played in the musical scale (Qeñet) of the same name. Tizita is often compared to the blues and saudade. This show explores the universality of Tizita, an essential sentiment arguably at the core of what makes us human.
