She both composed and played the keyboard on her own music, which has a mystical quality despite conventional Western harmonies. The music on this album, from rare releases dating to 1963 and 1972, has attracted a good deal of attention, and the album made classical best-seller lists in the spring of 2025. The music of Emahoy (the name is honorific) is perhaps unlike anything else listeners will ever have heard, marked by an entirely personal kind of encounter with the language of Western music within a transparent, flowing, dispassionate discourse with a touch of sentimentality. There is certainly something Ethiopian about it, but this is mostly at a deeper level; in its language, although not in its structure (hear the straightforward development of The Storm), it is Western. She plays piano and, rarely heard on recordings, a harmonium. Those intrigued by Emahoy, and there will be plenty after getting a taste here, can find more of her music if desired; the physical album, which has bonus tracks, or on the large Éthiopiques series of popular music from Ethiopia, which includes more of her secular music. Even here, listeners will get a taste of something unique in the musical annals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYouTube Video\/Audio:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"853\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/?version=3\u0026amp;loop=1\u0026amp;playlist=eOmBfVgXRlA,SRLwyDD_SCQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cpre style=\"white-space: pre-wrap; text-align: justify; font-family: unset;\"\u003eA1, B1 to B5 originally released on [r11849819 in 2012. \nA2, A3, A4 recorded in Köln, Germany and originally released on [r9873201 in 1972. \n\nRunouts are etched, lacquer cutting, plating companies derived from runouts.  160g vinyl.\u003c\/pre\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLicensed From Emahoy Tsege Mariam Music Publishing, Inc.\u003cbr\u003eRecorded At Löve-Studio\u003cbr\u003eLacquer Cut At Telegraph Mastering\u003cbr\u003eMastered At Record Technology Incorporated\u003cbr\u003ePressed By Smashed Plastic Record Pressing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/sell\/item\/3887480572\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eData provided by Discogs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mississippi Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52138435248428,"sku":"3887480572","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9904\/0812\/files\/26684276-06237909682ce3e4771b4682ce3e4771b61747772388682ce3e4771b9.jpg?v=1761707453","url":"https:\/\/eclecticorecords.com.au\/es\/products\/emahoy-tsegue-maryam-guebrou-jerusalem-lp-comp-mint-m","provider":"Eclectico Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
