Details

For forty years, Hugh Masekela has been at the heart and soul of South African music, even though he spent three quarters of those years in enforced exile. His trumpet has been an instrument of resistance, a call to freedom and a celebration of the resilience of his people. He is South Africa's most enduring musical ambassador. Embracing the bebop of Miles and Dizzy, the rhythms of Fela Kuti and the young musicians of his South African homeland, Hugh Masekela has created a sound that 'is profoundly moving with a proud and joyous quality that will have you swaying your hips in joyful abandon'.
