about

The South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim’s Solo Concert, recorded in his new homeland of Bavaria. “Dream Time” choreographs this subtly stirring recital as a timelessly beautiful self portrait of the artist.
Calm, yet exuding a gripping power. In prelude, soft tones gently reveal the initial melodic content. Motifs emerge in echo, making way for a complete melodic statement refined through minute, unexpected details. The gathering stream flows directly into a single, liberating chord. A second melody follows suit, at once melancholic, morphing to bright lyricism, also settling on an open chord. Yet not an end, but a transition...Abdullah Ibrahim is a master of transition. Born October 9th, 1934 in Cape Town, South Africa-the iconic pianist soon celebrates 85 years on
the planet. A pianist, whom at 85 continues to exhibit a long winded perseverance in
performance. In the course of an hour’s time, an uninterrupted flow of melody-tonal beauty of a strong spiritual nature.This music towers far above the mere sum of it’s notes.

I was brought here after listening to a live performance of Makaya's on you tube. I instantly loved the song Holy Lands so much that I had to see if the album version was the same rendition as the live one. Then I listened to the whole album! Universal Beings is a just a groove... It's a mix of traditional and something new, very nice. pandr1900
