	Basil Coetzee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Coetzee was born in an area of Cape Town, South Africa called District Six, an area which shared the poverty common to all townships, but which also fostered a vibrant music scene.
		Basil Coetzee chose to stay and make whatever impression he could on his home ground, despite the many difficulties and deprivations which that struggle involved.
		The Coetzee family were forcibly removed from the soon to be demolished District Six to Manenberg in 1969, and it was his composition of that name which became his best known work.

	Abdullah Ibrahim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A short attempt to return to South Africa in the mid-1970s after his conversion to Islam (and the resultant change of name from Dollar Brand to Abdullah Ibrahim) saw him return to New York in 1976, as he found the political conditions too oppressive.
		While in South Africa he made a series of recordings with the cream of Cape jazz players (Basil Coetzee and Robbie Jansen, for instance), which included Coetzee's masterpiece, "Manenberg", one of the greatest South African compositions ever, and which became the unofficial soundtrack to the anti-apartheid resistance.
		Abdullah Ibrahim has written the soundtracks for a number of films, including the award winning Chocolat and, more recently, No Fear, No Die.

		While Ekaya does a good job at performing the piece (using the solos of the original recording transcribed), one can't help but wonder why they didn't just use the original recording.
		Abdullah sounds better on it, and the solo of Basil Coetzee is brilliant in its original form (after all, he is called "Basil 'Mannenberg' Coetzee for a reason).
		Secondly, using Mindif from the African Suite album - a trio with string orchestra - is slightly suspect.
