This album collects unreleased recordings and tracks from 1970's virtually inaccessible »The Hymn Of Jerusalem, The Jordan River Song« by Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru, who sadly passed away just a few weeks ago, at the age of 99.

The Ethiopian nun's recordings have funded orphanages back home since the early '60s. Her compositions and unique piano playing style live somewhere between Erik Satie, Debussy, liturgical music of the Coptic Ethiopian Church, and Ethiopian traditional music.

Here you can also hear Emahoy's singing voice (she had actually planned a vocal album for 2023). »Jerusalem« is the first archival release of the great composer’s recordings since the Éthiopiques series reintroduced her music to the world in 2006. Drawn from original master tapes and a nearly impossible-to-find vinyl release, Jerusalem unveils profound new facets of Emahoy Gebru’s performance and compositions.
