The global impact of jazz from South Africa is celebrated in this landmark collaboration between two of the country’s iconic figures – Abdullah Ibrahim and Hugh Masekela revisit the spirit of their 1959 adventures with the Jazz Epistles – the first black South African band to create international waves during the apartheid years. Ibrahim’s richly melodic sextet Ekaya is joined by Masekela’s effervescent and soulful trumpet and vocals.
