The physical being has fallen, but the energy and the music lives.

Rest In Art to the Afrikan legend.#HughMasekela

The best of my childhood memories are full of Hugh Masekela! His music has always evoked in me, as an adult, a memory of pure innocent ebullience and a feeling of just being born in the wrong music era. Rest in perfect peace Bra Hugh🙏🏾❤️
