Now Playing > Masekela > Tomorrow (1987)
I forgot where I heard the name from my teens but I remember him appearing as session player for one or another. Looking at Discogs, he actually showed up in songs by Simply Red, Cyndi Lauper, PM Dawn and – gasp! – Blancmange. His collaborated frequently with Paul Simon. Maybe it was “Graceland” that I came across him.
Bouncy positive afrojazz as you would expect. The subject matter may feel a bit dated, but you know history won’t be made without this. His talents were appreciated across generations and we’re the better for it.
RIP Hugh.
