Tasmin – Tezeta

Tezeta — the Amharic word for nostalgia and longing — is a deeply atmospheric debut from Tasmin, channeling the emotional pull of Ethiopian jazz through a modern, meditative lens. Released via Bauhaus Records, the album blends modal jazz harmonies, subtle funk undertones, and soulful horn lines with hypnotic, unhurried rhythms. Warm analog textures and elegant pacing give the record a dreamlike flow, where melancholy and transcendence quietly coexist. Rooted in classic Ethio-jazz traditions yet shaped by contemporary sound design, Tezeta feels both timeless and forward-looking, a reflective, immersive listen that positions Tasmin among a new wave of global jazz innovators.
