Originally wandering minstrels who roamed the old Abyssinian countryside, many Azmaris settled down after the founding of Addis Ababa just over a century ago. The cleverest of them understood that they should set up their own business and take a cut on the drinks instead of getting by on tips earned singing their way from one bar to another. They took over the city by giving rise to a musical genre specific to Addis called bolel, a mix of Azmari traditions (praise or sarcasm at will, depending on the size of the tip) and of modern urban culture.
