TEZETA tells the story of 40 Armenians orphans who were adopted by Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie in 1924, paving the way for their role as the first Ethiopian imperial band. These same Genocide survivors would compose Ethiopia's first national anthem, help popularize brass instruments, and in later decades would help spark a jazz fusion revolution that swept the country. Told through first-hand accounts, TEZETA reveals a uniquely Ethiopian musical story that was once lost to memory.
