Tezeta Band - Aynotche Terabu
Genre: Afro-beat / Jazz / Soul, Ethio-jazz
Location PORTLAND, Oregon, USA
Tezeta Band is the sound of memory, of nostalgia, of sweaty soulful dance music, part jazz, part motown, part Ethiopian folk music, inspired by and arranged from the Golden Age of Ethiopian music, the late 1960's and early 1970's. Imagine James Brown, Elvis Presley, and John Coltrane merged into one sound, one source, melting together in the clubs and lounges of Ethiopia.
--------------------------------------
Tezeta Band is the sound of nostalgia and sweaty soulful dance music. Part jazz, motown and Ethiopian folk music inspired by the 1960's and 1970's. Imagine an Arabic sounding James Brown, and John Coltrane merged into one sound, melting together in the clubs and lounges of Ethiopia.
The inspiration for the Tezeta Band is the Golden Age of Ethiopian Dance Music that produced legendary Ethiopian musicians such as Tilahoun Gessesse, Mahmoud Ahmed, Seyoum Gebreyes, Aleymeyehu Eshete, and Mulatu Astatke. These artists blended revolutionary sounds and ideas into a powerful Ethiopian soul sound.
Tezeta Band's greatest moment came on New Year's day 2010 and 2011 when they were twice able to perform with living legend, Mahmoud Ahmed in Portland, Oregon.
Tezeta Band consists of members of The Five Fingers of Funk Talbott Guthrie/drums, Ted Hille/ Saxophone, Tim Cook / Keyboards. Curt Bieker/Trombone & Josh Prewitt/ Trumpet, with the help of Brent Martens (From Asylum Street Spankers and currently the Escapists, Royal Motel Orchestra, and Duo Royale) and Bassist/Composer John Teagle.
Since 2008, Tezeta Band has brought their high energy seven piece Ethio-Soul Revue to clubs across the Northwest, including The Woods, The White Eagle, Mississippi Studios and the Doug Fir

Incendio devasta Hotel Taitù di Addis Abeba, scenario di Scoop
Roma, (askanews) - Un incendio ha devastato lo storico hotel di Addis Abeba Itegue Taitù, che ha fatto da sfondo al romanzo Scoop di Evelyn Waugh, in cui lo scrittore britannico esercitò un'aspra critica contro la stampa sensazionalistica nel 1938.
Le fiamme si sono propagate la sera del 10 gennaio nell'edificio costruito all'inizio del 1900 e uno dei più vecchi della città etiope provocando ingenti danni.
In pochi minuti le fiamme erano dappertutto - ha raccontato un turista britannico, Clem Clemson - i vigili del fuoco ci hanno impiegato 10 minuti ad arrivare, ma era già troppo tardi.
Il romanzo Scoop racconta la storia di uno sfortunato corrispondente straniero, William Boot, inviato per errore ad Addis Abeba a coprire l'invasione del paese. Una vicenda in parte autobiografica, con Waugh che aveva raccontato l'invasione dell'Abissinia, oggi Etiopia, da parte dell'Italia nel 1935 sulle colonne del quotidiano londinese Daily Mail. Altro personaggio che aveva ispirato il protagonista fu il reporter e politico britannico W.F.Deedes, che seguì l'invasione quando aveva 22 anni e soggiornava, come Waugh, nell'hotel.
Negli ultimi anni, tuttavia, il Taitù Hotel era divenuto noto anche per il suo jazz club Jazzamba Lounge, importante punto d'incontro per la scena jazz etiope e non solo.
