Song for Biko

Album Notes & Community Reviews

A powerful and poignant tribute to the anti-apartheid activist Steve Biko, who had been killed in police custody the previous year. This album is a landmark of 'Cape Jazz,' masterfully blending the joyous, mournful, and resilient sounds of South African township music with the improvisational freedom of the avant-garde. The music is a deeply emotional and political statement from a group of exiled South African masters and their close collaborator, Don Cherry.
