## Resource

South African jazz giant Abdullah Ibrahim, once known as Dollar Brand, has died at 91, leaving behind a legacy that fused African rhythms with global jazz to create a sound that moved nations. Revered by Nelson Mandela as “our Mozart,” Ibrahim’s music—from the anti-apartheid anthem “Mannenberg” to his performances at Mandela’s 1994 inauguration—became a voice for justice and cultural pride. A true ambassador of South Africa’s soul, he carried his homeland in his heart even as he lived abroad, and his enduring influence, honored with a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master title, ensures his music will echo through generations.
