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.
