I wish I were there at her concert and feel the incredible spirit of the the evening. I’m proud that she is ‘the’ Ethiopian nun pianist. I listened it so many times and I will continue to do so. When I listen to her compositions, I always become “Normal”, be myslef, got myself and be ready to work something positive. I try to write poems. But if I am backed by the nun’s piano, I can concentate upto the heaven, really, and express my feelings through my poem.

I love it

Thanks.

I feel her pain, and for some reason she might be disappointed of this artificial world. I think she followed the right track to follow God’s way.

Alula Kebede of the VOA has interviewed her back in 2006 or so. I was greatful to hear her tell her story- just amazing! She deserves all the credit Alula and Tadias gave her and even more! I recommend to anyone who is intersted to find her intreview with Alula may be Archived or I am sure if you goggle both names, you will find it. Yemiyagelglute Amlak Edmewotin Yarzimilin!

This song has been around for many years. I thought it was created by Dr. Ashanafi Kebede {who has a version of it}. But now I know it was Emahoy Tsigie-Mariam Gebru’s original work.

Well done! Tadias

You have done a great job here by bringing out to light to many, introducing Emahoy and her superb works. Emahoy not only that she is talented, but, blessed with unique style of playing Piano. As someone put it here, her music relays that special deep-seated message to each listner; the message that touches souls in its own way at all times. I am proud to say that I have been listening to Emahoy’s instrumental music for years. Thanks to “Ethiopiques” and earlier, the Ethiopian Radio many, many years ago.

May God give her strength these days as her music gives solace to many.

She comes from one amazing family! The Best thing you can do to know some more about the family is to read the book by the late Colonel Dawit Gebru, her eleder brother, the Biography of Kentiba Gebru. It is really the biography of the this great family and Ethiopia as well. Master piece.

Almost all, including second and third genration from the family, have dedicated thier lives for public service. The two elder sisters were among the founding and fighting members of the Black Lion Group that opened the first organized resistance against the fascist occupation of Ethiopia in 1935.

Great to hear this amazing grace of a Nun, Our Own Amazing Grace ! And gratful to Tadias for the great public service!

This article and the music featured in it really, truly moved me.

I’m trying to find contact information for Tadias, so I may ask someone where I can find more of her music.

This music went right to my soul, I’d love to be able to hear more and share this new wealth.

I am thankful for the deserving recognition of “the Nun-pianist:Emahoy Tsege Mariam Gebru”. Her spiritual life and her piano play has inspired and motivated my grand children to play the piano that had been dormant for several years.
