Celebrating the life of Johnny Mbizo Dyani

Join us at House 87 for a special night to celebrate the life of of our own Legend. Johnny ‘Mbizo’ Dyani was a Jazz Artist who was born in Duncan Village and performed during the apartheid era. He played for almost his entire career in exile before passing away in West Berlin, Germany at the age of 39. Dyani actively fought against the apartheid regime through the medium of music and assisted the African National Congress (ANC) by performing at events in Africa and Europe.

Johnny Dyani is best known for his membership with the Blue Notes, an interracial band that performed in South Africa before moving to Europe.
