tizita

Tizita (var. Tezeta; ; ) is one of the Pentatonic scales or Qañat of the Amhara ethnic group.

== Etymology and origin == The term tizita is distinctly Tigrinya, and Amharic, there's no Ge'ez equivalent, as opposed to the term nafkot which belongs to both languages with the same meaning (regret, emotion linked to a remembrance). Tizita folk songs developed in the countryside by the Amhara peasantry and the village musicians called the Azmaris.
