Meklit feat. Brandee Younger - "Tizita"

Meklit’s “Tizita,” featuring Brandee Younger on harp, from the album 'A Piece of Infinity.' Her original video, directed by Sophiyya Nayar and featuring two flower-headed figures (Ahon Gooptu and Mihika Miranda densley cloaked in living foliage), reflects on the passage of time. "The flower heads are like seeing through a memory itself or through a dream," Meklit describes, "where emotion and sensation are in charge, and we let go of the logic of everyday life."

“‘Tizita’ is one of the most beloved traditional song forms of Ethiopia, expressing passionate longing and nostalgia. There have been so many versions of ‘Tizita,’ and I have been brewing mine for nearly a decade. I nurtured it singing softly to myself while driving, walking, and living life. I knew this album would be the place for my ‘Tizita’ to bloom. Thanks to the brilliant Brandee Younger for bringing the glittering dreaminess of the harp to this much-loved tune.” (Meklit)
