Hugh Masekela (born Witbank, April 4, 1939. Died Johannesburg, January 23, 2018) was a South African flugelhorn and cornet player. In 1961, as part of the anti-apartheid campaign, he was exiled to the United States where he was befriended by Harry Belafonte. He has played primarily in jazz ensembles, with guest appearances on albums by The Byrds and Paul Simon. In 1987, he had a hit single with 'Bring Him Back Home' which became an anthem for the movement to free Nelson Mandela. After apartheid ended, Masekela returned to South Africa where he now lives.

AllMusic[1]

Live at the Market Theatre is a double live album by South African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela. The record was released on July 17, 2007 via Four Quarters Entertainment label.[2] The album consists of 15 tracks recorded in June 2006 during his two-and-a-half-hour concert in The Market Theatre in Johannesburg. A follow-up DVD was released on 31 July 2007.[3]

Critical reception[edit]

Jeff Tamarkin of Jazz Times wrote 'Hugh Masekela should look less pained than he does on the cover of Live at the Market Theatre. The Johannesburg venue itself, celebrating its 30th anniversary when Masekela headlined in June 2006, is a proud symbol of the struggle against apartheid, having refused to segregate when such an act was still unheard of in South Africa. And Masekela himself, back home since the early ’90s after decades in exile, remains a worshiped figure there. This event should have been a celebration. But contentment has never been a hallmark of Masekela’s character, and jazz has never been just music to him, but rather the sound of a people rising above. In his hoary voice and his unflappable playing, Masekela shoulders countless historical burdens, and though there is a joyousness to be heard, his work won’t be done until he’s done working.'[4]

A reviewer of Rock Paper Scissors stated 'After many years spent in exile from the violence and oppression of apartheid-era South Africa, Masekela returned 17 years ago to help rebuild his homeland. Live at the Market Theatre represents Masekela’s status as a musical freedom fighter in South Africa while demonstrating what he’s known for best in the outside world: his energetic and groove-driven freedom sound. The Market Theatre is an apt representation of Masekela’s commitment to South African identity and Pan-African nation-building.'[5]
