Hugh Masekela’s Chissa All-Stars & Nuttin’ But Stringz
"Hugh Masakela has been, and will continue to be, an importance force in the world of music.” (Amazon)
Long before the term “world music” was coined, South African born trumpeter and flugelhornist Hugh Masekela was ingeniously fusing his own vibrant post-bop style with R&B, pop and African rhythms. In 1968, Masekela became an overnight sensation with his irresistible instrumental hit “Grazing in the Grass.” With its breezy horn lines and catchy, percussive rhythms, the song topped the Billboard charts, earned a Grammy nomination and eventually sold four million copies worldwide. Opening act violinist, Tourie and Damien Escobar will perform an exciting blend of classical, jazz, R&B, and hip-hop, entertaining for all audiences.
