Hugh Masekela

1939–2018

À propos de Hugh Masekela

Hugh Masekela's trumpet was the soundtrack of South African freedom. He left South Africa in 1960 after Sharpeville, spending decades in exile — performing with jazz royalty in New York and campaigning tirelessly against apartheid. His 1968 hit Grazing in the Grass reached number one in the US.
