Mississippi Records announce the release of Church of Kidane Mehret, gathering Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru’s 1972 private press album of the same name with two previously unheard piano recordings. Listen to the lead single ‘Ave Maria’.
Released this month on Mississippi Records, Souvenirs is a lost and found recording of Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru, on which supple flowing vocal melodies meet irregular piano phrasing as Emahoy’s hands roam freely. It’s an amazing hoard of personal, spiritual and national yearnings.
On what would have been her 100th birthday, Mississippi Records is today celebrating the brilliance and vision of Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru with a new single and the announcement of a major new release, her self-recorded vocal album, Souvenirs.
