avraham | ibrahim
An ancestral music project by Axel Mansoor.
Press a dot.
Helping people remember the ancient and mysterious in the grooviest way possible.
I am from everywhere and nowhere: I am Ashkenazi, Mauritian-Creole, and Indian; I come from a family of Jews, Muslims, and Catholics.
Avraham and Ibrahim are my given names. My ancestors feared each other and their legacy of conflict endures today.
IVRAHIM is the name I received to heal that legacy in the name of harmony: weaving my ancestry through music and creativity.
Traditional garments with a modern sensual flair.
If Moses dressed like Prince.
Visual references only. Images belong to their respective artists and photographers.
Across the globe, artists are reaching back into their own musical traditions and ushering them into the present. Why? Because culture needs roots.
I love making demos...but the true finishing moves will happen in collaboration with those who get the vision and desire to join this wave of music.
These songs need live drums and an actual bassist. Most also need more than a single voice or perspective. Plus, these are meant to be performed live. Backing tracks will displease the ancestors.
Translating the world of sound into visuals is not my forte. There is so much inspiration to be found here.
