about

Abdullah Ibrahim, South Africa's foremost jazz messenger, is like an African historian, reading from books of sound which have been written in people’s memories. He teaches us that music is a deeply spiritual practice exercised not in churches or mosques, but inside, in the human soul. For nearly forty years Abdullah Ibrahim's soulful music out of South Africa has been moving audiences worldwide. Its universal language results from the amalgam of jazz, African rhythm, Arabic influences, English choral and European romantic music and always radiates spiritual truth and communicative power.
