GEBRU, TSEGE MARIAM – s/t

Description

One of our favorite Mississippi releases yet — the transcendent piano of the classically trained Ethiopian nun Emahoy Mariam-Tsegue Guebrou (Gebru). This is the second LP in our ongoing series of releases of Emahoy Guebrou’s back catalog — all tracks that are nearly impossible to find on vinyl. More 1960s recordings of her unique solo piano performances — somewhere between Erik Satie, Debussy, liturgical music of the Coptic Ethiopian Church, Ethiopian traditional music, and a touch of the divine. A spiritual salve for troubled times. Old-school tip on jacket with gold foil.
