Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru spiel eigenen Kompositionen

Born to an aristocratic family in Addis Ababa in December of 1923,
Emahoy spent much of her youth and young adulthood studying classical music in Europe.
She returned to Ethiopia in the 40s, where the war interrupted her musical studies.
In 1948 during a church service in Ethiopia, she found her faith
and began years of religious training.

Throughout her physical and spiritual journeys,
Emahoy continued to compose for the piano.
She first released this album in Germany 1963 as small private press record.
The tracks reflect her own travels, seamlessly moving between Western classical
and traditional Ethiopian modes, evoking Eric Satie, the orthodox liturgy,
and meditative Christian music all at once.
Her work is like no one else in the world, lyrical, hypnotic,
full of spiritual warmth and a direct connection to the divine.

This is most probably the record we would take to the lonely desert Island.
