No matter what type of night club you go to in Ethiopia, you always end up in an Azmari Bet at one point or another. These places are not much to look at but they pack a lot of entertainment in a room the size of an average NYC living room, if not smaller. They don't use any microphones, speakers, or amplifiers but the sound they get in those rooms is like high end surround sound from Bose. It probably has something to do with the bartender, waitress, bouncer, and every other employee singing along with the band.
These guys are obviously not in a Azmari Bet but they are real Azmaris. I don't know how much they paid them to get up in the morning like this. Those drums and those heavy hand claps in a 12' by 12' room will definitely get your attention.
Update: Sorry if anyone is offended by the lyrics.
