Sandy’s CD recording ‘Kapture‘ with drummer Toby Hall, bassist Brett Hirst, tabla drummer Bobby Singh, Indian singer Sarangan Sriranganathan is an homage to Ahmed Kathrada the South African politician and former political prisoner who spent 26 years and 3 months in prison, 18 of which spent on Robben Island, when Nelson Mandela was also held.
