Love & Peace (Unseen Worlds UW13, 2014)

Love & Peace is a crossover solo piano album by Ethiopian musician and composer Girma Yifrashewa. The recording intersects several musical genres, including classical, Ethiopian music and jazz. It’s an introspective album that begins sounding classical at first and gets more and more Ethiopian as Love & Peace progresses.

Girma Yifrashewa incorporates Ethiopian celebratory music such as wedding songs, a basic Ethiopian mode called Anchihoyew, which is used during the fasting period of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church; the Wollo music mode.

Love & Peace is the first Yifrashewa album released outside of Africa. Girma Yifrashewa was born in Addis Ababa in 1967. His style is characterized by the use of the Ethiopian pentatonic scale.
