Abdullah Ibrahim

Abdullah Ibrahim (who has also recorded as Dollar Brand) is one of South Africa‘s most famous musicians. Born under the apartheid regime, where jazz music was seen as an act of resistance, his music is often referred to as representing freedom.

His latest solo album since 2014, Dream Time, has been recorded in his new homeland of Bavaria. In words of Matthias Winckelmann, founder of Enja Records, it is a “breathtakingly beautiful recording”, and perfectly could work as a timelessly beautiful self portrait of the artist.
