A solitary Ethiopian piano filled with silence and prayer.
A collection of original compositions by Ethiopian nun pianist Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou. A unique melodic beauty that fuses classical and folk music.
Her unique harmonies and gentle tempos weave a time of deep prayer. Melodies such as "The Homeless Wanderer" have a classical structure, yet evoke the folk rhythms of Ethiopia. Her piano playing is tranquil yet powerful, enveloping the listener with a warmth. The roughness of the recording only adds to the simple charm, highlighting her solitary artistry. A unique musical experience that transcends the boundaries between the West and Africa.
