The Buffalo City Homecoming is the return of Jazz Against Apartheid and the legacy of musical prodigy Johnny Dyani to his roots in the Eastern Cape. It is a profound cross-fertilization and is developed on a foundation of 60 years of exile history and 36 years of friendships formed in the struggle. On the 18th of December the Jazz Against Apartheid Band of esteemed musicians from the Eastern Cape, Europe and Canada performed 13 of Dyani’s world-renowned compositions, including one of his most famous tunes, “Song for Biko” at the Steve Biko Centre on the date of what would have been Steve Biko's 76th Birthday.

It is important to note there are other existing archives that have built up some fantastic matetrial of old archive footage from era's before our birth as well as an ever evolving archive. It is important to build these networks and share our resources as best as possible to develop a coherent knowledge foundation of South Africa's arts culture and heritage landscape. The Story of South African Jazz Archive is engaged with ILAM (International Library of African Music) for a long-term and accessible sylabbus based resource.
