The Dig Global x Jazzre:freshed Present: The Afrodiaspora connection 2025 JHB

UPDATE AND CHANGE : UPDATE AND CHANGE

DUE TO COLD WEATHER WE HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE OUR AFRODIASPORA CONNECTION TO THE NEST, TO ENSURE ALL OU PATRONS HAVE A COMFORTABLE EXPERIENCE.

The AfroDiaspora Connection is a dynamic, multi-year collaborative music exchange project curated by THE DIG GLOBAL, a Johannesburg-based alternative music development agency, and Jazz re:freshed, a UK-based jazz and alternative music organisation. This initiative is designed to establish a sustainable, cross-cultural music ecosystem between South Africa and the UK—one that amplifies the voices of jazz and alternative music artists while encouraging ongoing collaboration and community development.

At its core, the AfroDiaspora Connection celebrates the vibrant and evolving jazz and alternative scenes across both countries. The project seeks to cultivate long-term, impact-driven partnerships that support artist development, touring opportunities, music exchange, education, and the sharing of industry knowledge.
