The recording crew was sparse, the audience non-existent, yet Ibrahim’s communion with the piano remains warm and timeless. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003eIn his own words: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 4\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"6 years old - I played my first note on the piano with the index finger \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNow 80 years and 10 fingers later - a journey that took me from Cape Town to all corners and mentors of the world - the index finger unveiled plays itself - the one note of universal unity \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMy great grand father with his index finger showed me the hidden kalahari dreamtime essence of the plants, flowers, animals and sound of the distant hills \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI was 6 years young\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 4\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eA\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 1\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e1.
