«Asguèbba!» est une apostrophe courante des «Azmaris» des cabarets d'Addis Ababa pour inviter à entrer dans la danse, comparable au «Va dentro» des Latinos. Les Azmaris sont ces chansonniers, ces ménestrels, rois et reines des chaudes nuits éthiopiennes, avec leurs rythmes effrénés, leurs lamentos poignants, leurs paroles au double sens où voisinent les allusions sexuelles et les critiques drôlatiques du pouvoir. Fronde, libertinage, «entertainment» et blues...Les chants sont accompagnés au «mèssenqo» (vielle monocorde), au «krar» (lyre populaire) , au tambour «kebero», à l'accordéon. Ces enregistrements constituent la suite du volume 2 de la collection Ethiopiques, intitulé «Tètchawèt!» («amuse-toi!»).

«Asguèbba!» is the Azmari's cry urging listeners to enter into the dance, an invitation carrying the same sexual innuendo as Latino's ¡Va dentro! The recordings on this CD are intended as a continuation of those in Tètchawèt! (Ethiopiques 2) and feature most of the artists from the first edition.The songs are accompanied on the mèessenqo (one string fiddle), the krar lyre, the kebero drum and the accordion.
