Hugh Masekela Understands what is happening





Can we discuss this for a moment? This video is sort of incredible.



Hugh Masekela's stuff can get a bit too cheesy/80s synth-happy (see above), but man he is one rad dude. Here is his (rightfully?) best known track, grazing in the grass. It is pretty unimpeachable. Unimpeachable is the word of the day.




Recently doing a search for some highlife compilations I came upon this album from 1971 under the name Hugh Masekela and the Union of South Africa. I don't actually know anything about it. It is wonderful.
