One of the world’s finest and most distinctive horn players, Hugh Masekela was a pioneer of jazz in South Africa and a campaigner against apartheid in exile, using his music and live performances to attack the apartheid regime.

His performances on trumpet and flugelhorn mixed jazz with South African styles and music from across the African continent and diaspora.
