Wolf Trap: Abdullah Ibrahim Trio

Hailing from Cape Town, Abdullah Ibrahim’s mix of traditional African music, gospel tunes, spirituals, American jazz, and classical music is uniquely South African. The artist, formerly known as Dollar Brand, is a world-respected master musician and famously performed at Nelson Mandela’s 1994 presidential inauguration. Discover how Ibrahim’s most beloved songs, such as the powerful 1974 anti-apartheid anthem “Mannenberg,” and recent masterpieces from his 2024 album, 3, translate to the stage at The Barns. Ibrahim's trio is made up of modern jazz multi-instrumentalist Cleave Guyton and National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master Noah Jackson.
