He is South Africa's most important pianist and a jazz icon: Abdullah Ibrahim. Born in a ghetto in Cape Town in 1934, Ibrahim left the country in the early 1960s, played in the USA with Duke Ellington and John Coltrane and developed into a musician and composer who was valued all over the world. In South Africa, too, he remained an important musical and political voice. His composition "Mannenberg" became a kind of anthem of the anti-apartheid movement. Nelson Mandela, at whose inauguration he played in 1994, called him »our Mozart«.

Musically, Abdullah Ibrahim, who called himself "Dollar Brand" at the beginning of his career, was surrounded by many influences early on: African traditional music, Christian hymns, gospels and spirituals as well as American jazz, township and classical music. His unmistakable sound and musical repertoire arose from this mixture of the secular and the religious, the traditional and the modern. He has been playing solo concerts all over the world for decades. He is "a magician of repetition", writes Die Zeit, "and behind every note there is a whole landscape".

Er ist der bedeutendste Pianist Südafrikas und eine Ikone des Jazz: Abdullah Ibrahim. Geboren 1934 in einem Ghetto in Kapstadt, verließ Ibrahim das Land Anfang der 1960er Jahre, spielte in den USA mit Duke Ellington und John Coltrane und entwickelte sich zum weltweit geschätzten Musiker und Komponisten. Auch in Südafrika blieb er eine wichtige musikalische und politische Stimme. Seine Komposition »Mannenberg« wurde zu einer Art Hymne der Anti-Apartheid-Bewegung. Von Nelson Mandela, bei dessen Amtseinführung er 1994 spielte, wurde er als »unser Mozart« bezeichnet.

Musikalisch war Abdullah Ibrahim, der sich zu Beginn seiner Karriere noch »Dollar Brand« nannte, schon früh von vielen Einflüssen umgeben: afrikanische traditionelle Musik, christliche Hymnen, Gospels und Spirituals sowie amerikanischer Jazz, Township- und klassische Musik. Aus dieser Mischung aus Weltlichem und Religiösem, Traditionellem und Modernem entstand sein unverwechselbarer Sound und sein musikalisches Repertoire. Seit Jahrzehnten spielt er Solokonzerte auf der ganzen Welt. Er sei »ein Zauberer der Wiederholung«, schreibt die Zeit, »und hinter jedem Ton steht eine ganze Landschaft«.
