Hugh Masekela, Live at the Market Theatre
--By James A. Cox
Live at the Market Theatre is a two-disc music CD album featuring Hugh Masekela, a musician whose creations defy genre classification. Born in South Africa, Masekela spent years in exile from his nation's apartheid-era oppression, returning 17 years ago to help his countrymen and his homeland rebuild. Live at the Market Theatre embodies Masekela's efforts to bolster South African identity and Pan-African nation building. Songs incorporate jazz, Nigerian rhythms, and Afro-Beat. The tracks are "Ibala Lam", "The Boy's Doin' It", "Ashiko", "Ha Le Se", "Stimela", "Lady", "Grazing in the Grass", "Mandela", "Thuma Mina", "Up Township", "Happy Mama", "District Six", "Market Place", "Khauleza", and "Thanayi". Enthusiastically recommended for library music CD collections and international music shelves. 08/01/07
