    Has anyone heard the song Bajabula Bonke (The Healing Song) at The Monterey International Pop Festival

    This is really good South African jazz but on the other hand his singing isn't much to listen to but his trumpet playing is pretty good.

    I Like Masekela's Album Introducing Hedzoleh Sounds. You Should Check Out Fela Ransome-kulti And The Africa 70 With Ginger Baker.

    Hugh Masekela is a great performer and well worth catching.
    His songs used to exclusively be anti-apartheid things then Nelson Mandela got freed, majority rule came to South Africa and Hugh had no material left.
    However on the trumpet and flugel horn he has a fantastic booming sound and also possesses personality in great quantity
