40 Years of Jazz Against Apartheid: Song for Biko

This concert commemorates the 40th anniversary of the historic "Jazz gegen Apartheid" movement, featuring compositions by the late South African bassist and composer Johnny Dyani. The program, titled "Song for Biko," pays tribute to anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko through Dyani's powerful musical works.

Attendees can expect an evening of politically charged jazz that blends South African rhythms with free jazz improvisation. The performance will highlight Dyani's legacy as a key figure in the European jazz scene and his lifelong commitment to the anti-apartheid struggle.

Set in Frankfurt am Main, this event offers a rare opportunity to experience compositions that have become anthems of resistance. The concert is part of a broader cultural reflection on the role of music in social justice movements.
