JOHANNESBURG - For decades, Hugh Masekela has captivated audiences around the world with his unique style and fusion of African rhythms, jazz, and world music.
Masekela was honoured for his contributions to jazz music and for his impact on the cultural development of South Africa. Among the highlights was the induction of Masekela into the Ertegun Hall of Fame, a prestigious recognition of his talent and accomplishments. On behalf of their late father, Selema Masekela and Pula Twala accepted the honour.
“None of these projects or initiatives would be possible without the continued support, both material and spiritual, of our friends and family, sisters and sons, institutions and organisations, near and far, sharing the values that Hugh espoused, promoted and stood for," said Twala.
