South African Jazz: A Musical Journey through Traditions and Time

South African Jazz: A Musical Journey through Traditions and Time 

Steve Dyer, Bokani Dyer, Linka Sikhakhane & Ndabo Zulu in conversation

The year 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of the first democratic elections in South Africa, and one of the elements of the societal change, is the ongoing process of asserting personal and collective self-identity that was marginalized and subjugated under apartheid. This is vividly present in the current-day South African jazz and exemplified by the biographies and artistic practices of the four South African musicians who will be in conversation with each other and the audience on the eve of their performances at Yerba Buena Gardens Festival.
