Hugh Masekela Biography

Hugh Masekela was one of the world's finest and most distinctive horn players, a musical celebrity who built up a dedicated global following thanks to his unique blend of jazz, South African styles, and music from across the African continent and diaspora. A powerful singer and songwriter, he used his music to attack apartheid, and after returning to a free South Africa after 30 years in exile has continued to be an outspoken commentator on global events.
