Hugh Masekela - Hope - Analogue Productions LP Box Set

45 RPM 4LP Box Set, 180 Gram Vinyl — Analogue Productions

An exuberant, soul-stirring summit of South African jazz. Recorded live in 1993, Hope distills the life's work of trumpeter, flugelhornist, and singer Hugh Masekela into one glorious set — from the crossover smash "Grazing in the Grass" and the anti-apartheid anthem "Bring Him Back Home (Mandela)" to the haunting migrant-labor epic "Stimela (Coal Train)." Buoyant, danceable, and politically charged, it is both a celebration and a testament, captured with stunning presence and dynamics.
