event details
A collective of exceptional Naarm musicians, formed to explore, rejoice and champion the rich tradition of South African jazz from its roots in the struggle for freedom to its current sounds under the guidance of the “Born Free” generation. Their music invokes a spiritual moment that communicates directly to the soul and rhythms of all our ancestors. The beating heart of the the band is 78 year old township drum legend and originator Brian Abrahams (collaborator of Sarah Vaughan, Archie Shepp, Abdullah Ibrahim and more) leading the crew on a journey of creation; something that’s part celebration, part history lesson, all pure magic.
