Born into an aristocratic family in 1923 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Emahoy Tsege Mariam Guebrou was exiled from the age of 6 and sent to Europe to study, where she began her musical education studying violin and piano.
Back in Ethiopia, after a second exile, she obtained a musical scholarship from the Royal Academy in London. Unfortunate circumstances prevented her from pursuing this quest and Emahoy remained in Ethiopia. Annihilated, she retired to a monastery at the age of 19, where she was ordained as a nun.
She decided to continue music, writing compositions for violin, piano and organ and, after twenty years, published her first recordings. Long unknown, her melancholy musical work was revealed in 2006 by the Ethiopiques record collection. Composer Maya Dunietz, fascinated by her timeless pieces, traced her to the Ethiopian Monastery in Jerusalem, where Emahoy had been living since the 1980s.
Emahoy and Maya forged such a close bond that Emahoy entrusted her with her scores - a veritable work of musical archaeology for Dunietz, who meticulously worked on deciphering them, proposing in 2013 a first publication of her piano pieces. Emahoy passed away in March 2023, having practiced music for the rest of her life on her piano.
Master kora player and vocalist Dawda Jobarteh will lead the opening act. His music embodies the rich traditions of West African griot storytelling, infused with contemporary influences. Jobarteh's performances are a captivating journey through centuries of African musical heritage, showcasing his deep connection to his roots and innovative approach to the tradition.
