Abdullah Ibrahim The Song is My Story Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:
The charismatic Abdullah Ibrahim is South Africa's most distinguished pianist and a world-respected master musician. He released the solo piano album 'The Song Is My Story' - which is now available on LP - to celebrate his 80th birthday, 2014 also marked 20 years since the end of apartheid. Abdullah Ibrahim visited Sacile, Italy in the summer of 2014, played on the legendary "Fazioli" grand piano and visited the workshop where these pianos are crafted.
