This man is a genius, and Basil Coetzee a hell of a tenor sax ! Was at a wonderful concert in New York back in 1978. To this day one of the best concerts ever ( on par with Keith Jarrett ). Cannot count the number of friends I was able to convert to Abdullah Ibrahim music.
This music captures the soul of the African spirit. There is definitely the sound of lament and suffering but somehow joy and optimism which prevails and wins in the end. It is beautiful beyond words. He has vanquished oppression with his creativeness. We are eternally grateful.
Close your eyes and imagine this as a healing light floating and moving like the fog as it envelopes all nations all races all religions all people and heals us with the remembering that we are all love. Well that’s my vision! Peace and love to all. ❤️
Every once in a while, A bright light, very much, bright... Shines upon this dimension. Thank You, Ibrahim, and the Dollar Band, for such, wonderful songs.
This is blissful and so evocative of South Africa. I saw him live, just with Johnny Dyani, at the Bracknell Jazz festival in the late '70's. The summer sun was just setting, and they began with the simplest theme, much like this one. Having done so, they set off round the block with it, returning to it again after ten minutes or so before taking it for another walk around another block. They kept this up for well over an hour, without a pause and never changing the basic theme. A stunning display of improvisational virtuosity. Still one of my favourite gigs ever, and I have chills just thinking about it. Incidentally, they were followed on stage by Eberhard Weber and Jan Gabarek - as I said, a great gig.
How touchy to see such beautiful comments from people all over the world. I m in South Africa and we don't pay much respect to our own such as The Dollar Brand till their gone
+Thapelo Mabelapoo Here regards from Sweden! I agree with you. Africa must take good care of all its wonderful Music. T his track is just awsome - jyst don´t get tired of hearing it. It´s like Life itself.
True that Thapelo, you are spot-on! Until we lose them ... A world-class masterpiece that unfortunately is not given enough attention in Africa. How sad!
I managed to listen to Dollar Brand playing live at Water Front in Cape Town in a secluded nite club, Guys those were the days......saxophone .....wow.He touched the heart ,the mind and soul.I love the man......
LIstened to him the first time in 1982 in connection with the Culture against Apartheid Festival in Gaborone, Botswana, as close as you could come to South Africa at that time! Hugh Masekela and others were also there.
Soul-searching music from a legend of Jazz music. You can feel you are flying to some place of peace and tranquility. It touches and embraces the spirit. Long live Soweto!
@ kris connolly: do you know, that the dna between all people are connected? That's why we understand or love world music, and why inuit wip their hips to african lines, too! Human mankind is based on only appr. 200 different families at all. I.m scandivian-english origin (mum) on one side, east-latvian on the other (dad). I love african and dance to french, listen classic and meditate to indian music. All the worlds music in one... great. Love it. Thanx, Abdullah and many, many others...

Encore sous le choc émotionnel des premières mesures de ce morceau entendu lors d'un concert à Strasbourg Hautepierre. Some years ago ... salle totalement envoûtée, l'Afrique re visitée par le jazz, et la sensibilité d'un artiste exceptionnel...
Suppose not many people would say apartheid Days were good old Days. oOnly makes me sad that things have changed far too Little for most of those who suffered from that regimed many of us Swedes fought against.

Sans mot dire, Tu as décrit nos pensées et nos rêves A peine tes doigts fleuraient les touches Que les sons inondaient l’espace de cette sonorité inattendue Dans un silence, on entendait le souffle de nos âmes le battement de nos cœurs emballés. L’espoir de tout un continent sorti d’une trompète, d’un piano, Et les baguettes qui marquent le temps entre deux soupires An Ga Ta Il est temps An ga ta !!!! Au trot, S’il vous plait, au trot Pas au galop Simplement au trot sans faire de trop En petites cadences La danse de la malice Donner jusqu’à la lis Vider le calice An ga ta Il est temps Bonjour à toi Bonjour à vous Bonjour à tous Le jour se lève au dessus de nos rêves le chant du coq nous ramène à le réalité Lève-toi Marque tes pas Danse, saute, cris, éclate-toi Il est temps An ga ta !!!!

Cliched but true, there's no place like home. I've been fooling myself all this time saying I'm a child of the world. Bollocks, I'm South African to the bone.
This kind of music takes you to a special place somewhere ,dumps you there and leaves you.Its Riveting.Special kinda music.SUPERB
This song takes me back to Cape town driving slowly to sea point while meditating. It heals the soul. Love from Malawi

I stumbled across Dollar Brand by accident decades ago, when I was working for a record wholesaler in New York City. I've liked his music ever since.
one of the great ones south Africa has produced...
The Greatest really. Cant think of anyone playing at that depth

I remember the first time I heard this. Driving around in my dad's big Oldsmobile late in the evening. WEBR AM jazz radio in Buffalo.
Mr. Ibrahim, I love your music. Thank you.
It feels good to be African
The best of South African things
This is the best jazz, pure penny whistle music; good to the ear.
2020/05 listening to the best music ever played directly from Mozambique-Chimoio
So joyous ~ love, from Twin Cities, USA
Dollar Brand, always great, I can't stop listening

Sans mot dire,
Tu as décrit nos pensées et nos rêves
A peine tes doigts fleuraient les touches
Que les sons inondaient l’espace de cette sonorité inattendue
Dans un silence, on entendait le souffle de nos âmes
le battement de nos cœurs emballés.
L’espoir de tout un continent sorti d’une trompète, d’un piano,
Et les baguettes qui marquent le temps entre deux soupires
An Ga Ta
Il est temps
An ga ta !!!!
Au trot,
S’il vous plait, au trot
Pas au galop
Simplement au trot sans faire de trop
En petites cadences
La danse de la malice
Donner jusqu’à la lis
Vider le calice
An ga ta
Il est temps
Bonjour à toi
Bonjour à vous
Bonjour à tous
Le jour se lève au dessus de nos rêves
le chant du coq nous ramène à le réalité
Lève-toi
Marque tes pas
Danse, saute, cris, éclate-toi
Il est temps
An ga ta !!!!
La route est longue
An ga ta !!!!
Your poem is very very beautiful. Thank you, Youssouf. I am touched to tears.
"L’espoir de tout un continent sorti d’une trompète, d’un piano,...."
