Goodbye Hugh Masekela (or see you later)!

Masekela is a true artist, possessing formidable grit – even as a vocalist – but he is also capable of great poetry, combining expressiveness with a genuine jazz temperament that will never be diluted: both in sound and phrasing, Masekela will remain an unmistakable trumpeter, unmistakably tied in melodic taste and accents to his South African background.

In '68, a track, Grazing in the Grass, based on the popular music of the townships, catapults the South African trumpeter to the top of the US pop singles charts, where on July 4th, '68, he wins the duel against none other than Jumping Jack Flash by the Stones: four million copies.
