GEBRU, EMAHOY TSEGE MARIAM
SPIELT EIGENE KOMPOSITIONEN (MISSISSIPPI RECORDS)
label:
MISSISSIPPI RECORDS
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 classical 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 and is filled with spiritual warmth.
