ABDULLAH IBRAHIM SOLO

For his second Festival performance in as many evenings, the legendary Abdullah Ibrahim enfolds his audience in the spellbinding sounds of his latest album, Mukashi. The title of the album, meaning “Once Upon A Time” in Japanese, sets the tone: a window on another world, a musical adventure at the crossroads of South Africa and Japan, all of it orchestrated in a magisterial dialogue between piano, flute and cello bonded by serene sensuality and floating melodies.
