September 4 street date. A most unusual & stunning album. Tsege Mariam Gebru is an Ethiopian nun who has dedicated her life to helping others. She has been composing & playing music on the piano since the 1960’s. Her music is a unique mix of Western classcial music in the vein of Erik Satie, Ethiopian music & Religious Christian meditation music. On this reissue of her first LP, originally released in Germany in a very small pressing, we find Tsege Mariam Gebru playing her own compositions solo on piano. She plays with restrained grace & purity. The record invites repeated listening well & is filled with spiritual warmth. Mississippi Records is very proud to present this LP - the first in a series of records we will be releasing with music culled from the monumental Ethiopiques CD series.
Available now. At last! The second LP in our ongoing series of releases from MARIAM-TSEGUE GUEBRU! More 1960s recordings of her truly unique solo piano performances. Mariam-Tsege Guebru is a true original—her playing is somewhere between Erik Satie, Debussy, liturgical music of the Coptic Ethiopian Church, and Ethiopian traditional music. It is some of the most moving piano music you will ever hear! All original compositions available for the first time on vinyl beyond the original early 1960s editions, which are completely impossible to find. Old school "tip on" cover with gold foil printing. A must have master piece for anyone who needs some spiritual comfort. Edition of 1,800 copies.
Please note new street date: April 14 (LP) / June 9 (CD). From beloved composer Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru, a revelatory new album of piano pieces, unreleased or virtually inaccessible until now. Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru is a true original - an Ethiopian nun whose recordings have funded orphanages back home since the early 1960s. Her compositions and unique playing style live somewhere between Erik Satie, Debussy, liturgical music of the Coptic Ethiopian Church, and Ethiopian traditional music. It is some of the most moving piano music you will ever hear. This is the first archival release of the great composer's recordings since the "Éthiopiques" series reintroduced her music to the world in 2006. Drawn from original master tapes and a nearly impossible-to-find vinyl release, "Jerusalem" unveils profound new facets of Emahoy Gebru's performance and compositions. Newly remastered recordings pressed on 160g black vinyl, heavy jacket with reproduction of 1972 artwork, song notes by the artist.
