Masekela makes music for change, and dancing

October 22, 2010

South African jazz legend Hugh Masekela comes to Symphony Center as part of the Symphony Center Presents: Jazz, Jazz E series. The Grammy Award-winner has used his music as a voice in the fight for issues of equality and justice in South Africa. And, in his more than 40-year career, has also influenced many musical genres with his blend of traditional South African music, pop and jazz. That's not to say a Masekela set list is all serious and somber. The rhythms are for dancing; he understands you can jam and still make a difference with your music. 8 p.m. Friday at Symphony Center, 220 S. Michigan Ave. $21-$43; 312-294-3000, cso.org 10/22/10 >> go there
