I have been lucky enough to be in the company of this giant.He is a complete opposite of what you see on cd covers.His sense of humour is great,always had us in stitches.He smiles laughs a lot,has jokes aplenty about any subject or the funny side of life from T'ai-chi to Jazz.

@RuthDonna I have the vinyl of Capetown Fringe - it's an amazing album. It's one of those that I need to convert to up to higher tech. I think there's a song on youtube called Manneburg by Abdullah that is a shorter version for Capetown Fringe.

I've been looking for this for the longest time. Fantastic.

@RuthDonna - I finally found it!! It wasn't called "Soweto123", it was just called "Soweto". I've uploaded some of the track here...

See the side note on the video on where to freely download the whole track from (17 mins MP3).

Dollar Brand really brings back memories of my childhood!

[RuthDonna]

@phabphilip I've looked for it too. It was called Capetown Fringe, from an album of the same name.I believe it's only available on vinyl, used.

@ZuluMuntu : I envy you.

Hey avlis77. I've been after a Dollar Brand tune called ( I think) "Soweto 123" for ages. It sounds like a jam and goes on for about 20 mins. It sounds very similar to your upload "Abdullah Ibrahim - Soweto/Dollar Brand - African Herbs". Maybe the version I heard was a jam or live version of that tune but I cannot find it anywhere. I originally heard it from a South African friend who lent me a compilation tape with it on. The tape is now dying so I need a digital copy. Any help appreciated.

one of the first albums(lp version) I ever owned in the mid 70s, still enjoy listen to the then Dollar Brand.

The Anti-Apartheid Movement was a wonderful organisation. One bonus back in the 80s was being able to buy rare Abdullah Ibrahim LPs from the fund raising catalogue.
