This’s a big loss. He brought the anti apartheid movement home to me. So much great music.

Father of SA Jazz...Be in peace.

 

[TheBigOne]

This is the long/live version of a song about the everyday disenfranchisement of African men under apartheid. He almost single handedly brought the message to the world and pressured the end of apartheid

Rest in Peace.

I knew of him via his son Sal Masekela who hosted the X-games stuff. Peace to the family.

You will receive a music class and a history lesson that will be well worth it.

RIP

Rest in Peace.

I knew of him via his son Sal Masekela who hosted the X-games stuff. Peace to the family.

We can safely say bra Hugh was one of the great architects of Afro-Jazz and he uplifted the soul of a nation through his timeless music.
