Gebru Tsege Mariam

Finally repressed !!!  A most unusual & stunning album.  Tsege Mariam Gebru is an Ethiopian nun who has dedicated her life to helping others.  She has been composing & playing music on the piano since the 1960's.  Her music is a unique mix of Western classcial music in the vein of Erik Satie, Ethiopian music & Religious Christian meditation music.  On this reissue of her first LP, originally released in Germany in a very small pressing, we find Tsege Mariam Gebru playing her own compositions solo on piano.  She plays with restrained grace & purity.  The record invites repeated listening well &  is filled with spiritual warmth.
