Abdullah Ibrahim Mantra Mode
Label: TIPTOE Catalog: TPT888810.2 Format: CD 1 Bayi Lam - 4:17 2 Dindela - 5:32 3 Barakaat - 3:28 4 Tafelberg Samba/Carnival Samba - 6:56 5 Mantra Mode - 9:27 6 Beautiful Love - 4:01 7 Tskave/Royal Blue - 6:12 This was a very special recording for pianist/composer Abdullah Ibrahim because, after nearly 30 years of exile, he was back in Cape Town, South Africa performing with local musicians. The musicianship is surprisingly high and the African septet does a fine job of interpreting eight of Ibrahim's newer folk melodies. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi Price: $20.98 |
