Abdullah Ibrahim's final solo performance at the Cape Town International Jazz Festival took place on Friday evening, 27 March 2026, on the Rosies Stage.
The legendary 91-year-old South African pianist and composer delivered a deeply moving, meditative set that marked his final public performance in his homeland. Tragically, just over two months after this historic homecoming, Ibrahim passed away peacefully in Germany on 15 June 2026.
