Melkam Genna! Today is Ethiopian Christmas. Grab a hockey pole and a few friends and lets swat a ball around. Genna is a traditional field-hockey style sport that is played every year during Christmas. Legends vary, from one where upon hearing of the birth of Christ, local shepherds went nuts and decided to randomly play the game with their staffs. Over time, the game was developed into a diplomatic endeavor, bringing together neighboring villages and towns in sporting fellowship and allowing people of different classes to interact at an even playing field. Check out the full video by @transworldsport on the ancient game and how it being developed and promoted as a national sport in Ethiopia today. bit.ly/GennaSport. #melkamgenna #ethiopia #genna #habesha #christmas #orthodoxchristmas #gena #sports #hockey #fieldhockey #heritage #worldsports

Nothing like an impromptu photoshoot... Pictured (l) Baklava, Bunna style -- layers of filo dough, walnuts, and olive oil, topped with a shai and bunna-infused turbinado syrup and pistachio. Delicious, #Vegan. (r) some of the tastiest bubbles on the planet. Ambo is mineral water from a holy spring near Addis Ababa. The effervescence is a flavor unto itself. Paired with a flavorful thing like our Baklava, it pops those taste receptors into that part of your subconcious -- the one that numbed your waked self, through the horde of human polar bears packed on 5 stops of the L train shuttle, and the 4 gut-wrenching blocks of prime-northeastern-seaboard-30deg-14-wind-chill-you-still-gotta-get-home-sucka-kind-of-weather, and into the Lake-Awassa-synchronized temperatures of 1084 Flushing Avenue. You were meant to be here, and we will keep the prices chill enough for you to uber home. After that, who knows... Ethiopia?? Flights.google.com and then let us know, we'll give you connections. World's big. Some corners are enormous.

Also (speaking of therapy), look at these drink specials! $5 Tej Mimosa or Grar Sangria $4 beer & shot ($6 w ethio beer) And as always, we have the Bunna, the Shai, and the Espris. Sat/Sun 11 to 4.

We keep rolling … last week MEAZA ASHENAFI was sworn in as Ethiopia’s first female President of the Supreme Court. A former high court judge sworn in in 1989 at the age of 25, she served as legal advisor in the drafting of the new Constitution after the overthrow of the Derg. In 1995 Ashenafi founded the Ethiopian Women’s Lawyers Association and began tirelessly campaigning for women’s rights in Ethiopia. She helped create the first all-female bank in Ethiopia, Enat Bank, in 2011. As a leading women’s rights attorney, she has called into question the cultural norms that have put women in a deferential position instead of giving them the freedom to recognize and manifest their own potential. As an example of someone who fought hard for this freedom, she is now positioned to interpret and influence law to give that opportunity to so many others. Gobez!!! #femmepower #everythingiseshi

Sharing is caring, Lunch is for lovers, and just $15 for two, Leaves $$ for the brew... ------- Repost from @alternativetravelers - Last month we checked out @bunnacafe, an all vegan Ethiopian restaurant in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Stepping into the quiet and cozy Bunna Cafe felt like stepping out of New York and into Ethiopia. Bunna means coffee, and the cafe regularly puts on the traditional coffee ceremony, an integral part of life in Ethiopia. Everyone gathers around as the coffee gets roasted, ground, and then brewed. We didn't get to see the coffee ceremony (this time) but we did get to eat! Due to many religious fasting periods where folks don't eat animal products, Ethiopian cuisine contains a lot of traditional plant-based dishes, including steamed greens, lentils, split peas, cabbage, potatoes, and sauteed beets, all spiced a bit differently. Instead of using a fork and knife, you eat using injera, a sourdough flatbread that you use to scoop up the different dishes. It's yummy and fun! (Bunna Cafe also offers gluten-free injera with 1 day advance notice). Best of all, Bunna Cafe is quite affordable, especially if you go for lunch. They have a 2 person lunch special for $15! NYC has so many great vegan restaurants, but a lot of them are prohibitively expensive, and we're not about fine dining anyway. We'd much rather eat with our hands in a chill spot like this one. #nycvegan #vegansofnyc #vegansofny #eaterny #nyceats #nycfood #newforkcity #nycdining #horngryvegan #whatveganseat #vegansofinstagram #veganeats #veganfoodie #vegancommunity #veganlunch #ethiopianfood #forksoverknives #ethiopia #bunna

Salieu Suso (@msalieu.ss) is a Jali (#Griot) from #Gambia, part of a prolific musician family whose ancestor invented and mastered the #Kora instrument. We have been very happy to have him on as a regular performer at Bunna Cafe. He joins us once again, with bass player Rashiim Saho, Wednesdat, 10/31, at 8pm, @UnderTheGrassRoof. This clip, recorded by @bkartscouncil, is a song called Kelefaba. From Salieu: This song was named for 19th century warrior King Kelefa Sane and it was one of the first Kora songs dedicated to a King to keep his legacy and lineage alive. It means the mastermind of the war. The djelis sing about the great work he did for the kingdom and tells the story of his death in a battle on the north bank of the Gambia River in the mid-1800's. The djeli wants the King's name and legacy to stay alive by speaking Kelefaba's lineage and history. This was the first song my father ever taught me. Watch the full video in the link on our profile page. And do join us Wedneaday. Everything = Eshi.

Aside from the much-celebrated appointment of Sahle-Work Zewde as the first woman Ethiopian president, here are two postings in Abiy's new half-female cabinet that represent true positions of power and leadership for women (the Presidency, while an important symbolic position, has practically no executive power in the Ethiopian government structure): ---- Minister of Defense (oversees the armed forces and defense industry) -- AISHA MOHAMMED, from Afar region. ---- Minister of Peace (a new posting that aims to manage and resolve the internal ethnic struggles that have given rise to this new inclusive administration. Perhaps the most difficult and important posting of all at this juncture) -- MUFERIAT KAMIL, former speaker of the House and chairwoman of the SNNPR state party. ---- Good things happening at home... Abiy has promised free and fair elections by 2020. While every promise must be taken with a grain of salt, let us find hope that overall momentum remains on the side of peace and inclusive prosperity. #EverythingIsEshi

Gebre Mesqel Lalibela was a ruler of Ethiopia in the late 12th/early 13th century, part of the long-standing Zagwe Dynasty. According to legend, he spent much of his childhood in Crusader-occupied Jerusalem, and when it was reconquered by the Muslims in 1187, he drew inspiration to build a replica of the city in the highlands of Ethiopia, and use it as his capital and the spiritual center of the country. In a feat of engineering unfathomable in the world for its time, he oversaw the cutting of eleven large churches out of the soft limestone boulders of the area – all of them intricately and meticulously carved into perfect angles and proportions. The Lalibela complex likely took decades to finish, but became a powerful center of the Zagwe domain and a site of wonder for later European visitors, with one Portuguese ambassador in the 1500s writing: “I weary of writing more about these buildings, because it seems to me that I shall not be believed if I write more … I swear by God, in Whose power I am, that all I have written is the truth.” Two of the twelve churches stand out in particular. Medhane Alem, at over 100 feet in length and 33 feet in height, is considered to be the largest monolithic church in the world. The most recognizable and well-preserved is St Giorgis, which is carved out as a cross and sits alone at the far end of the complex. Today they are a popular tourist destination, and the second holiest site in the country behind the ancient city of Aksum. ------------------ We designed the wall behind our bar to follow the map of early Lalibela. Each rectangle represents one of the eleven churches, while the two shelves depict (n to s ) a tunnel from Bet Giorgis to the eastern church complex , and (s to n) the River Yordanos, named after the one in Jerusalem. The rectangles representing the churches are a common icon in Ethiopian iconography. They represented in various places throughout the restaurant. #thoughtyallmightliketoknow

No, we do not deliver. Someday, maybe... we've definitely explored it. But for now it just doesn't fit. ... Still, we will put delicious Ethiopian food in a pizza box so that you can build the perfect colorful ensemble for your own eyes, nose, and palate. Anywhere you choose (just gotta come here first!).

Selam Selamino Seyoum joins us for #Meskel on Saturday 9/29, with DC-based keyboardist Ashebir Gebremeskel. Come see him live with dance superstars #Fendika! Join us. Dtls in profile link. ---- A pioneer in the heydays of Ethiopian popular music in the 70s and 80s, Selam Seyoum (@selaminomusic) was lead guitarist of the seminal Black Soul, Ibex and ROHA bands, which at various times contained #Ethiopian/#Eritrean superstars like #AlemayehuEshete, #MahmoudAhmed, #TilahunGessese, #AliBirra, @AsterAweke, and #TekleTesfazghi. ROHA was built out of the remnants of Ibex after it disbanded during the communist era, thanks in part to the leadership of Selamino. These bands were the superstars of Ethiopia – they served as the backdrop to masses of concerts and shows that were proportionally as important to the country as The Jackson Five, Rolling Stones, Beatles, were to The West. All in all Ibex and ROHA produced over 250 albums during its career. Since the 90s, Selamino has been a tireless performer among the Habesha community in DC. In the past decades he has collaborated with old and new Ethiopian and Eritrean greats such as #MulatuAstake, #GetachewKassa, #NhattyMan, #HaileGebru, and Betty G, as well as NYC-based performers such as Tomas Doncker.
