The concert showcased eight original compositions, the result of a month-long mentorship programme that empowers young jazz artists and honours the legacy of the 1976 youth uprising.

The initiative, which began in 2003, is one of Artscape’s flagship programmes and has grown into a vital platform for emerging musicians from diverse backgrounds.
