Pioneering sounds

Jazz in the Native Yards is more than a performance platform; it’s a movement reshaping the sonic landscape of South Africa’s townships. Born in the heart of Gugulethu and resonating across Langa, Khayelitsha, and beyond, our nomadic curation brings world-class jazz into everyday community spaces. From street corners to cultural centers, we pioneer sounds that echo both tradition and transformation, grounding global jazz in local soil.
