Ethiopian nuns rarely appear in these parts but I'd be intrigued to know what boredees make of this haunting, jazz-influenced solo piano piece 'The Homeless Wanderer' by Emahoy Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou aka 'The honky tonk nun'.
It was recorded in 1963 and comes from her CD 'Ethiopiques 21'(860122).

I thought she was about to launch into "Stormy Weather" at about 1.30. Interesting, isn't it, how her near-eastern modes coincide with what we think of as the blues scale.
