Bokani Dyer’s Tribute to Tradition | Johannesburg News

Bokani Dyer just dropped his soul-stirring new album Traditions — a global homage to the musical roots that shaped him, blending ancestral rhythms with jazz and classical influences. Born in Botswana, raised in Johannesburg, and now touring LA to Europe, Australia, and back home, Dyer celebrates turning forty by honoring his lineage through covers of sacred songs like “African Piano: Inxembula,” even transcribing pre-colonial South African melodies with reverence. Featuring guest stars like Phoebe Mgxaji, Kabelo Motlhomi, and Julio Sigauque — including a touching tribute to his late jazz legend father Steve Dyer — this isn’t just an album; it’s a meditation on tradition, identity, and the slow, intentional art of making music that moves you.
