Fendika Azmari Bet

Azmaris are Ethiopian poet-musicians, skilled in the art of puns, double-entendre and music. Fendika Azmari Bet is hands down the best place for Ethiopian live jazz music and traditional dance. You will hear the masenqo (a single-stringed lute played with a bow) and the krar (a multi-stringed harp lute). Start your evening with a grass of surprisingly strong tej (honey wine) and get ready for vigorous dancing and swaying to emotional ballads.
