hugh masekela - still grazing - three rivers press - books

Masekela and co-author Michael Cheers paint an especially moving portrait of Masekela's childhood in South Africa, where, beneath the ominous shadow of racism, he enjoyed a life rich in the joys of family and ever-present music. For those unfamiliar with South African music, the authors offer an overview of this remarkable tradition, pointing out the strong cross-cultural influence of American jazz.
