Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou – Ethiopia Song – Ethiopiques vol 21

An outstanding pianist and a remarkable composer, Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guébrou, now a Christian nun in a Jerusalem monastery, recorded her own piano solo works, seeped in Ethiopian culture. Their rich, personal poetry brings to mind Carlos d’Alessio’s «India Song». A rare curiosity indeed, with beautiful melodies and a charming interpretation.
