Description:

"Church of Kidane Mehret" is a remarkable LP by the legendary Ethiopian pianist and composer Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru, released by Mississippi Records / Cargo. This album showcases her unique blend of classical piano with traditional Ethiopian melodies, resulting in deeply emotional and meditative compositions. The tracks on this record transport listeners to another world, filled with spiritual depth and gentle melancholy?a testament to Emahoy's extraordinary life journey as both a musician and an Orthodox nun. Mississippi Records is renowned for its dedication to reissuing rare gems from around the globe, focusing on folk, blues, gospel, soul, and international music that might otherwise be lost to time. Their releases are carefully curated for authenticity and historical significance. Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru was born in 1923 in Addis Ababa and became one of Ethiopia?s most celebrated composers. After studying music in Europe at a young age, she returned home only to face political upheaval that led her into religious seclusion. Her recordings?often solo piano pieces?have gained worldwide acclaim for their haunting beauty and introspective style. Over recent years her work has been rediscovered internationally through compilations like "Éthiopiques," earning praise from critics and musicians alike.
