Tigist Ejigu / Ambassel & Kerehugn (2 CD)
Очень редкие, невероятной красоты записи виртуозной пианистки Тигист Эджигу. Пару слов об исполнительнице, наследнице традиций великой эфиопской пианистки Эмахой Тцеге Мариам Гебру. С детства Тигист Эджигу имела идеальный слух, с лёгкостью воспроизводя на фортепиано композиции любой сложности, и проявляла недюжинные музыкальные способности, позволившие ей с отличием закончить 1989 году престижную Яредскую музыкальную школу в Аддис-Абебе. В 1996 году она переехала в Вашингтон, поначалу выступая в небольших эфиопских ресторанах и ночных клубах. По мере роста её популярности начала давать сольные концерты в крупных американских городах, включая Сиэтл, Лос-Анджелес, Бостон и Нью-Йорк. Сегодня творчество Тигист Эджигу, наряду с достижениями таких выдающихся эфиопских пианистов как Эмахой Тцеге Мариам Гебру, Сэмюэл Йирга и Гирма Йифрашева, пусть и с небольшим опозданием, но всё же произвело взрыв в сознании ценителей классической и этнической музыки. Естественное слияние классики, блюза, этио-джаза и абиссинской сакральной музыки позволило расширить границы творческого восприятия истинных меломанов.

Pianist Tigist Ejigu
Born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Tigist Ejigu developed a passion for music when she was a little girl. She had a sharp ear for music, and when she reached 10th grade she join the prestigious Yared Music School of Addis Ababa. Tigist showed an uncanny ability to replicate on piano most any music to which she was given ear. Her formal training at Yared exposed her to a broader repertoire of music, and both her technical expertise and her interpretive insightfulness blossomed.
In 1989, Tigist graduated from Yared with honors. She began performing professionally at hotels and restaurants in Addis Ababa. Wabe Shebelle, the Ibex, the Samit and the Hilton in Addis Ababa were among the hosts of her performances. Her repertoire included faithful renditions of traditional Ethiopian, western classical, and popular international music. It also included sensitive interpretative variations on themes of traditional Ethiopian and western classical music.
Tigist moved to America in 1996. She first performed at small Ethiopian restaurants and nightclubs in Washington, DC. She performed solo and with small ensembles, and she primarily performed traditional Ethiopian music. As her notoriety evolved, she began playing across the US -including Seattle, Los Angeles, Boston, and New York. DC is her home, and audiences at the Washington Hilton and the Hilton Capital find great favor with her sensitive melding of Classical and popular international themes. Of late, she has focused upon performing her own compositions. They have a jazz like improvisational quality, yet they capture and reflect both traditional Ethiopian and Western Classical aesthetics. Her performances are heartfelt, and her music has a universal appeal while Ethiopia is forever present.
