Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru was a remarkable Ethiopian nun, pianist, and composer. Born on 12 December 1923 in Addis Ababa, she left an indelible mark on the world of music with her extraordinary talent. Her compositions were deeply influenced by her spiritual journey as a nun, creating captivating melodies that touched the hearts of many. Sadly, she passed away on 26 March 2023 in Jerusalem, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire generations to come.

Originally founded by Alex Yusimov in 2003, Mississippi is a renowned music label that has made its mark in the industry. With Eric Isaacson at the helm in Portland, Oregon and Warren Hill in Montreal, Canada, the label gained recognition from MR-005 onwards. In 2011, it split into two entities - Lost Train Records and Mississippi/Little Axe Records (now known as just Mississippi).

Mississippi is primarily known for its affordable vinyl reissues that cater to fans of Americana, international music, and punk genres. The label's dedication to preserving and reintroducing classic releases ensures that music enthusiasts can enjoy timeless sounds with exceptional quality.

With an impressive catalog of *artists* and performers associated with the label over the years, Mississippi continues to captivate listeners worldwide. Whether you're a collector or simply appreciate great music, explore their collection of reissued vinyl records for an unparalleled listening experience.

The second LP in our ongoing series of releases from Mariam - Tsege Gebru! More 1960's recordings of her truly unique solo piano performances.  Mariam - Tsege Gebru is a true original - her playing is somewhere between Erik Satie, Debussy, liturgical music of the Coptic Ethiopian Church, and Ethiopian traditional music.  It is some of the most moving piano music you will ever hear!  All original compositions available for the first time on vinyl beyond the original early 1960's editions, which are completely impossible to find.  A must have masterpiece for anyone who needs some spiritual comfort.
