Good News From Africa

An intimate and profound duet between two giants of South African jazz, recorded while they were in exile. This album sees Abdullah Ibrahim (then known as Dollar Brand) and bassist Johnny Dyani exploring traditional Xhosa melodies and church hymns through the lens of jazz improvisation. The music is deeply rooted in the sound of 'Cape Jazz,' characterized by its unique blend of folk traditions, gospel, and a resilient, hopeful spirit. It's a landmark recording of South African music in its purest form.
