Let’s meet the the Father of African Jazz — Hugh Masekela.
South African composer, singer, activist, trumpeter, cornetist and, last but certainly not least, FLUGELHORNIST, Hugh Masekela has transcended national and musical boundaries since the 1960’s, seamlessly fusing strong the traditional sounds of South Africa with international jazz. Join him on the “Coal Train” in this video and you’ll be right there with him in the groove. (Watch all the way through and you’ll get it.)
