Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru – Jerusalem

We’ve teamed up with our friendly record-store neighbours Stranger Than Paradise to curate an ever-evolving edit of records and special edition vinyls.

From beloved Ethiopian composer Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru, a revelatory new album of piano pieces, unreleased or virtually inaccessible until now! Gebru is a true original – an Ethiopian nun whose recordings have funded orphanages back home since the early ’60s. 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.
