Gold Vinyl. The first vocal album by beloved Ethiopian nun, composer, and pianist Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru - profound and deeply moving home cassette recordings made amidst political upheaval and turmoil.

These songs, recorded between 1977-1985, are different from anything previously released by the artist.

Rich with the sound of birds outside the window, the creak of the piano bench, the thump of Emahoy's finger on the record button, they create a sense of place, of being near the artist while she records.

Emahoy dreamt of releasing this music to a larger audience before her passing in March of 2023.

We are proud to release this music, in collaboration with her family, now, in what would have been her 100th year.

LP comes with a 16-page booklet full-color booklet. Gold cover first edition, pressed in both black and gold vinyl editions.
