Abdullah Ibrahim Concert Tickets

Escape into the jazz-blues genre with Abdullah Ibrahim tickets from TicketSmarter. Abdullah Ibrahim who, prior to his conversion to Islam in 1968 was known as Dollar Brand, is one of the most influential musicians to emerge from South Africa and one of the founding fathers of the so-called Cape jazz movement. Ibrahim, born Adolph Johannes Brand, is best known for his composition 'Mannenburg', a song which he wrote after being driven into exile in the 1970s by the increasingly oppressive South African government of the day.

The song was produced by record shop owner Rashid Valley and recorded during one of Ibrahim's fleeting visits to South Africa. It features a melodic, Ramsey Lewis-style piano riff supported by the raunchy tenor saxophone playing of Basil Coetzee and went on to become one of the unofficial anthems of the anti-apartheid movement, selling tens of thousands of copies among the townships, eventually becoming an internationally recognized jazz classic.

After the ending of apartheid, Ibrahim returned to live in his native South Africa dividing his time between Cape Town and New York. As well as his highly acclaimed jazz work he has written soundtracks for a number of films including 'Chocolat' and 'No Fear, No Die'. In his later career, he continues to perform internationally, mainly in Europe but with occasional shows in North America. Buy Abdullah Ibrahim tickets today and get lost in the music.
