The legendary Hugh Masekela enjoyed 1960s chart success with the jazzy instrumental Grazing in the Grass. He later joined Paul Simon on his Graceland tour and collaborated with the late great Fela. Exiled by the apartheid South African goverment, Masekela campaigned constantly for human rights and spoke publicly about his sister's death from AIDS. Musical greats such as his former wife Miriam Makeba, Thelonious Monk and Dizzy Gillespie, and political figures Nelson Mandela and Malcolm X feature in this must-have chronicle of a life under apartheid.
