What is "yarona"

Yarona is a 1995 jazz album by South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, recorded over two nights at Sweet Basil Jazz Club in New York. AllMusic notes that Ibrahim's ideas "range from bop, African pop, swing, and even hints of a Keith Jarrett influence". The album features a trio, including bass player Marcus McLaurine and drummer George Johnson. In Ibrahim's words: "As the basic creative format of contemporary urban music and its global expansion from the timeless African fountainhead, the trio concept of piano-bass-drums serves as one of the most viable and essential, indeed, accessible formulae for the pianist/composer."

Yarona features on The Penguin Guide to Jazz Core Collection list of albums.
