We bring to you the best of Hugh Rampolo Masekala, a South African trumpeter, flugelhornist, cornetist, singer and composer who was described as“the father of South African jazz”. This is very special mix featuring a selection of my favourite tracks by bra Hugh from the 1960s through the 1980s. (It was really hard to select them as I love all of his music.) The mix is a journey of young Hugh leaving South Africa in the 1960s to the UK in exile, to study at Guildhall School of Music for a few months to later connect and marry Mariam Makeba in New York.
Masekela was known for his jazz compositions and for writing well-known anti-apartheid songs such as“Soweto Blues” and“Bring Him Back Home”. He also had a number-one US pop hit in 1968 with his version of“Grazing in the Grass”.
