This is the original packaging for Emahoy’s 1972 album Church of Kidane Mehret, which was reissued by Mississippi Records in 2025. Swipe to read Emahoy’s liner notes. Below is her bio for the album:
“Emahoy Tsege-Mariam Gebru was born in Addis Ababa, the Capital City of Ethiopia, on the 12th of December 1923, as a daughter of the late Kentiba Gebru Desta of Gondar and his wife, Woizero Kassaye Yelemtu, who lives in Addis Ababa. In 1963 a record of her earliest compositions was released in Germany, and in 1970 a third one was dedicated to an Ethiopian welfare organization. Here, all the piano and organ music played are her own compositions performed by herself as a contribution to the welfare of the Church.”
