The piano I ordered from somewhere in Africa (9)

I believe the answer is:

ethiopian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'somewhere in africa' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'the piano i ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates anagramming the letters.
'the'+'piano'+'i'='thepianoi'
'thepianoi' is an anagram of 'ETHIOPIAN'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ethiopian that I've seen before include "from African country" , "found in Addis Ababa" , "From, eg, Addis Ababa" , "Citizen of north-east African state" , "Like Emperor Haile Selassie?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
